Some people believe that the juvenile is employed in some paid jobs which bring some benefits. It is crucial for acquiring rewarding knowledge and being shoulder responsibility.
Although

this

is true to a certain extent, my opinion is that having a paid work will put children in a disadvantaged situation. Clearly, salaried work supports children to reach maturity and to familiarize themselves with society.
Firstly
Linking Words
, children having paid employment tend to suffer from social from societal problems
such

as employment conflict, commercial fraud. As a consequence, they will achieve experience in taking to tackle these problems as well.
Secondly

, adolescent who have an income may become independent and self-reliant than their peers. They can pay bills and manage their budget reasonably, all of which are valuable life skills and help children to be more responsible.
However

, these benefits are outweighed by the drawbacks paid job brings to children. From a personal perspective, not only is it inessential but
also

worthless for a teenager to have a job. Extracurricular activities at school could bring to children various of positive experience and valuable thinking skills
such

as being a community leader, making a speech whereas working environment could only help them gain negative touchstone. From a societal perspective, the idea that child labours could gain work experience and be more responsible is harming the prospect of a nation's development. If
this

were the case, perhaps children would have to face the dilemma of whether to get a job or continue their education so that a large number of students drop out of school.
Hence

, there is a shortage of a well-educated workforce, which affect strongly to the prosperity of a country. In conclusion, it seems to me that authorities should enforce a measure to diminish the number of child labourers, due to the step forward of children in the later stage of life.

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
