Undoubtedly,
although
 guns are used for
one
's security, there are high chances that it can be exploited in certain ways.
This
 essay will discuss both the positive, and the negative sides of a common man possessing a
gun
, and given reasons why I believe civilians should be prohibited to use
such
weapon
.
To begin
 with,
one
 significant reason for
gun
 possession is protection of oneself from crimes.
For example
, women, when alone, are
mostly
Suggestion
most
 vulnerable to theft, molestation or even rape. It is likely that women carrying a
weapon
 with them would deter the perpetrator from executing
such
crime
.
This
 is important because
crime
 against women are increasing
everyday
Suggestion
every day
.
Conversely
, if permitted to carry a
gun
, there is a possibility that females might use it to take revenge for personal matters.
This
 will lead to illegal harming and killings of people in the society. Considering the drawbacks of arms possession by a common man,
one
 of the demerits is the limitation for
gun
 laws.
Although
 every
such
weapon
 is registered and concerned authority has the record of the
gun
, as well as the bullets carried by the individuals, often the
gun
 is not used to fire someone, but it is used to threat the victim.
This
 means that the police will struggle to track the person who committed the
crime
.
Additionally
, if
this
weapon
 is not kept in a secured place, it might land
into
Suggestion
in
 the wrong hands.
For example
, it has been reported that recently a child in the United States, brought his father's
gun
 in the school, and mistakenly shot at
one
 of the classmate. In conclusion, despite the aforementioned reasons of security a
gun
 brings along with it, there is

 of its misuse in the form of revenge and landing in

 which increases the

 rate and violence in the society.

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
