There is an increasing trend around the world to have a small family rather than a large family. Do the advantages of having a small family rather than a large family outweighs the disadvantages ?

#trend #world
One of the most conspicuous trends in today's world is the colossal upsurge in small family size. In my opinion, there are many benefits
such
 as minimal financial obligations and quality upbringing which surpasses any drawbacks it might have. Admittedly, a prime drawback of small
household
 is that it makes children to become unnecessarily dependent and lazy.
That is
 to say that children from
such
 family always require support from people around them in carrying out their
household
 chores, school work and sport activities.
Consequently
, they grow up with a mindset of being
assisted
make a logical or causal connection
associated
 with every task, even
at
Suggestion
in
 their workplaces and
this
 makes them incompetent and unproductive.
In addition
, children from small family are lonely and timid. Unlike that of
large family
Suggestion

large families
, children from small
household
 lack confidence and skills to socialise with people other than their immediate family members.
For instance
, a child from a small family only interacts with his parents and denied the opportunity to play or exchange information with other children. These clearly show the negative impacts of

Nevertheless

 there are benefits of having small

 as compared to large
household
. One of
this
 is the reduced financial responsibilities it provides to parents.
In other words
, small family has negligible or limited needs in comparison with
large family
Suggestion
a large family
, and possesses sufficient funds to constantly meet them as well. A recent study conducted by University of Kenya
for instance
, showed a strong and positive link between small family size and less financial pressure.
This
 is an indication that small family always has the financial capability to run their homes rather than falling victims of living on emergency funds. Another positive side of

 is the superior upbringing it offers to children.
This

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
