Some people believe that women should play an equal role as men in a country’s police force or military force, such as the army, while others think women are not suitable for these kinds of jobs. Discuss both views and give your opinion

There is no doubt that women nowadays are playing an increasingly significant role in our society,
in particular
 by taking up employment in sectors which were mainly male dominated. While some are of the opinion that women are not suited for police or military forces, I would agree with those who agree that they should be given an equal chance. Many believe that women cannot be employed in the defence force.
This
 is because arguably, females do not have the strength and stamina required for
such
 a strenuous job.
For instance
, in sports competitions, the difference in physical strength of man and woman is obvious. Some men can run faster and are stronger than their female counterparts.
Consequently
, people with
this
 view think that a woman`s place is better at doing stereotypical work
such
 as being a teacher or a carer.
However
, I believe that women should be given the opportunity to participate in the police or military forces. The reason for
this
 is that women possess other attributes that can be of benefit to those sectors.
For instance
, a woman is likely to be more inclined to being nurturing and caring;
such
 traits are ideal for female medics in the army.
Moreover
, a female presence is more appropriate in certain circumstances. A fitting example is that in Mauritius, a policewoman needs to be present whenever a girl or lady is taking her driving test.
Thus
,
this
 builds more trust and imparts a sense of security to the test taker. In my opinion, both arguments have their merits. On balance,
however
, I tend to believe that women should be able to participate equally in defence forces as they have other traits and qualities that men do not possess.

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
