Our personalities are predetermined as a result of our genes before we are born and there is nothing that can be done to change our character traits. To what extent do you agree?

Inheritance plays vital role in deciding characteristics of human beings.
However
, it is presumed that natural personality cannot be changed. To some extent, I do not agree above stated statement.
This
essay will consider human personality is variable and
hence
not constant.
Firstly
, each individual is different from another in terms of behavioural traits,
furthermore
, some people are introverts, some are extroverts. Inheritance and surroundings play vital role in shaping character. We are born with certain natural values and instincts which are difficult to alter but not impossible to change. Evidently, Siblings differ in personality traits and can adopt to new qualities while growing up.
For instance
, twins may look alike, but may not have similar behavioural patterns. Nowadays, there are many institutions and learning centres to shape character traits. It is often said that "leaders are born and not made" but
on the contrary
, there are many schools and universities teaching leadership qualities and various behavioural aspects.
For example
, armies of many countries do have training institutes to shape the personalities of army officers in order to make them mentally and physically fit and lead thousands of people effectively.
Moreover
, leadership is systematically taught and transmitted to the cadet. In conclusion, it is inevitable to be born with certain characteristics which are hereditary, but those who are determined to change these traits can do so with proper education and training.

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
