Some people think paying taxes is a big enough contribution to their society, while others think people have more responsibilities as members of society than only paying taxes. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

One of
the most debatable
Suggestion
the most debated
issues in the
last
decade has been the individual's contribution to the
society
. Some people think that financial support, in the form of taxes, is a
sufficiet
of a quantity that can fulfill a need or requirement but without being abundant

Suggestion
responsibility
to the community. In my opinion, people have many obligations, aside from taxes, to their surroundings in order to maintain a well balanced
society
. The most important aspect in maintaining a good and functional
society
is financial support.
This
support is gained through taxes paid to the administration by the local citizens. By using these funds, the government is able to maintain good infrastructures,
such
as public transportation, clean cities and public
play grounds
an area where many people go for recreation
playgrounds
for children. According to the New York Times, for examples, cities with larger funds have better education systems, less crime, and higher paid salaries.
This
demonstrates, that local taxes are directly associated with a better
society
, and
hence
represents the most important contribution given by the local people.
In contrast
to the above mentioned, other people believe that
besides
taxes, there are other, non financial obligations,
such
as volunteer work, that are much more important. Through volunteer work, like assisting the elderly in hospitals and cooking for homeless people, we are able to generate a better, more tolerant environment, and teach our children how to contribute to our surrounding.
As a result
, we are able to improve our community, and generate a better
society
. In conclusion, while taxes are important, there are other activities people can do, namely volunteer work, which contribute to our
society
. I believe that by actively spending time helping needed people, rather than just paying taxes, we contribute much more,
becuase
for the reason that; on account of
because
we engage and communicate with other people.
Consequently learning

Consequently, learning
about our surroundings much more. We should be proactive and contribute.

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
