Television dominates the free-time of too many people. It can make people lazy and prevent them from socialising with others. Do you agree or disagree?

#television #free-time #people

It is commonly believed that

has the ability of controlling the available

time

of many individuals

thus

making them idle as well as preventing them from networking efficiently.

Although

one

can learn modern methods of making friends by watching it, I am of the opinion that it is a

time

-waster which can make people idle.

First

of all, watching

can educate people of various techniques of becoming diligent.

In other words

one

can learn new ways of socialising with others. To illustrate, two out of every five American adults believe that they became more friendly after the popular

programme titled "How you act the way you do" in the 70s.

As a result

, it is observed that watching

can influence the way individuals work and improve their relationships.

One

the other hand, most

shows are captivating.

This

is to say that

one

can be addicted to it in

such

a way that

one

's spare

time

required for other mandatory tasks like studying, researching and learning will not be done. If all the valuable

time

required to do other useful work are channelled into sitting to watch Television, there will be less

time

to strive for other goals as well as meet new people.

For example

, my twin sister became lazy which affected her academic when she became engrossed to a soap opera named Zee World.

Therefore

, it is evident that

has a negative influential effect that can affect

one

's social life. To conclude, despite the fact that

one

can be inspired to make new friends and not become idle by watching

, I think it can dominate people's free-

time

thereby making them lazy and preventing them from networking with others.

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

Foreign language should be part of curriculum of the school. Do you agree or disagree?
Nowadays, we find no difficulty of learning from every corner of the world thanks to the development of the Internet. The advances of the Internet and communication technology as well form a new thinking of the world: the world is flat. In this world, language is the most important factor preventing us from living together, communicating and learning cultures of each other. To this end, I strongly agree that foreign language should be a part of curriculum in high schools.

Some people think that schools should invest more money in technology, such as more computers, while others think more money should be spent on teachers. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
People are divided on their opinion about the budgeting of the educational sector. Some hold the view that a high proportion of the budget should be spared to purchase laptops and tablets; however, others think that well-known teachers should be hired even if they demand higher salaries. In my opinion, I am convinced that both of these things are crucial for better educational aspects so equal funding should be given because of the reasons that I will outline in this essay.
