Some people say that living in big cities is becoming more difficult. Others say that it is getting easier. Discuss both points of view and give your opinion.

#people #cities #points
In the present days, everyone prefers to live in a big
city
 as all the facilities are readily available there. Currently a debate is going on between two groups of people where one group is saying that living in a big
city
 is getting difficult day by day and the other group believes the opposite. I agree with the
first
 group and
this
 essay will discuss both sides of the view in detail. In present times development has touched even the remote areas of the village and it can now hardly be called a village.
Moreover
, cities are getting bigger as time passes in order to facilitate a growing number of people who are coming to live in the cities. As more and more person is coming to live, officials are taking big plans to increase and improve the facilities provided by the
city
.
For example
, more schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, libraries are built to accommodate large number of people. Because of all the improved facilities it is getting easier to live in the big
city
.
On the contrary
, as the number of people are increasing continuously, the big cities are getting very crowded.
As a result
, some problems are created to accommodate
this
 huge population. The traffic jam is one of the main issues big cities are facing today. Some big capital cities have failed to solve the problem and
as a result
, they even moved their capital to another location.
In addition
, crime rate tends to increase as well in a big
city
. A recent survey has shown that the crime rate is ten percent higher in big cities than small town. To sum up, there are some positives and negatives to live in a big
city
 and in my personal opinion,
although
 there are some problems which are present in a big
city
, I think the facilities we get outweighs the disadvantages.

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
