In some countries, most people prefer to rent their homes rather than buying them. Whare are the advantages and disadvantages of renting a home?

Instead
of buying a
house
, a large number people in some countries go for renting a
house
. There are many pros and cons when it comes to renting a
home
. An Oxford University study on people's interest in buying a
home
says that, around 60% of the floating population in a metropolitan
city
are living in rented homes. There can be multiple reasons when they decide to pay
rent
, rather than paying the EMI for a
house
loan
.
Firstly
, the people who work in multinational companies are coming to a
city
that has more job opportunities.
Likewise
, there will be a large population that has moved to
such
cities only for work. These people have their parents and relatives in a different
city
and having the hope to move to a better
city
or country when they find better job vacancies. So,
this
part of the population has no interest in buying a
home
in the current
city
, taking the
house
loan
which takes another 15 years to pay back.
Secondly
, the homes near anyone's workplace is obviously expensive and only a few can afford them, as most of the offices are located in the core of the
city
. For
this
reason, the middle class people have to find a
home
in a remote area,
that is
located more than 25 to 30 kilometres from the workplace, just because it is affordable. They have to bear the
loan
as well as the time invested in commuting to office, which will have an effect on peaceful life, especially, for the new generation Corporate professionals with no job guarantee.
However
, the rented
home
has its own disadvantages, like, we have to pay the
rent
every month which is almost equal to a
home
loan
EMI, where EMI will lead to possess a property in the long term, but
rent
will not, we cannot make alterations to the rented
home
, there is no guarantee when the
rent
will be increased or when the landlord will ask the tenant to vacate etc.

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
