These days many of us prefer to throw damaged things away, whereas in the past people used to repair damaged items and keep them for a long time. Explain why you think this change has happened What are the effects of this change in attitude

Over the years the value of items in person's life has been changing. A decade ago people believed in restoring the broken things and would keep them for generations, whereas, now millennials would rather give the damaged thing away than having it repaired. In
this
essay, I will explore the reason of
this
change and effects it is causing.
This
change in the behaviour has happened because we have access to everything in abundance. Earlier the items were expensive and rare, to purchase a single thing like a washing machine or TV people use to wait for the yearly discounts or for a particular brand. In today's time, thanks to digitalised shopping we have access to all the brands online to a yearly discount.
For instance
, in the Amazon we get a washing machine in exchange of the old one with huge discounts.
As a result
, people have stopped spending their time and energy maintaining things which get damaged, they would rather have it exchange and buy a new one. The possible effects which
this
approach has caused is the closing of servicing business and increase in scrap material which possibly lead to more pollution. In a
last
decade, repairing people was considered as some magicians, and were respected for their job,
however
, now their popularity is declining because of the change in attitude.
Secondly
, the scrap material has been booming, many air conditioning, TV and washing machine are sold as scrap, and to melt these items too much burning energy is required and
therefore
, air pollution has increased. In conclusion, repairing the damage item has become an obsolete trend, people believe in getting the items replaced
then
getting it repaired
this
is because pocket friendly items with easy exchanges,
this
trend has effected the repairing industry and increased pollution caused by melting scraps.

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
