Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television advertising directed towards young children (aged 2 to 5) should not be allowed. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer

TV commercials which are made to promote the sale of products directed towards toddlers should be banned. Television is a great source of entertainment for children, but it has its own pros and cons. I agree with the given statement due to the fact that children do not have the ability to differentiate between good and bad and

by giving an example of my cousin brother who is 4 years old. He loves to watch television and he could do it all day long. He once saw a man flying out of his room’s window by just wearing a glittered jacket which he tried to attempt himself by wearing some casual jacket of his.

Secondly

, children often become very demanding in nature. Commercials selling junk food like potato wafers, soft drinks, burgers and pizzas are a bunch of food that allures every child nowadays. On seeing these kinds of ads, they immediately prompt their parents to get them that food to eat which is not good for their health. The main motive of the brand is to sell their products and earn profits, but they do not own the responsibility of the kind of message they spread among the masses.

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
