Famous people are often the ones who have significant achievements or essential deeds. Most of the ordinary people are attempting to follow these famous people

copying the habits of reading magazines or watching TV. The main reason for
this

phenomenon is they believe that these habits are the key to success which

implies that they are noble as well.
For example

, as one finds out that some of his favourite actors are reading ‘Pride and Prejudice’ in their spare time, regardless how boring it truly is, he will borrow it from

library immediately and try to read. In
this

case, he will tell his friends that he is reading the book as the actors are, pretending to be elegant.
Also

, the habit of reading books or watching a specific television programme is more accessible than making

For instance

Instead

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
