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.

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

In today's world, many people argue that the government should help retired employees financially in terms of support and healthcare, while others think that the solution to this should be to save a portion of their income for their old age.
