The growth of online shopping will one day lead to all shops in towns and cities closing. Do you agree or disagree?

#growth #shops #towns #cities

There is no doubt that the development of the Internet has brought a huge difference in people’s daily life, either in towns or cities. I am quite in favour of

this

view which is online shopping may replace physical stores in the near future.

To begin

with, many employees are getting busier and busier in their work, which may result in they have no time to buy food after work. One ideal solution is to order online during work, by doing

this

will save their time and money.

In addition

, shopping online will have more options and can shorten the distance of buying goods.

For example

, if you want to buy stuff from overseas, you do not have to go to

this

country through online shopping.

Also

, you can buy almost about anything within one online shopping website like Taobao or Amazon.

although

many customers still like to shop in physical stores, it is undeniable that browsing online is more convenient. One reason for some people to buy in-store is that they can try those clothes on, but with the development of Augmented Reality technology, the buyer can not only try those clothes on but

also

can easily change their styles, patterns, colours or sizes.

However

, there are some things about shopping in-store, which cannot be replaced by online shopping like the atmosphere and environment.

For instance

, a coffee shop with emitting a strong aroma of coffee is an excellent place to relax. In conclusion,

although

the traditional shopping behaviour has its irreplaceable aspects, it is still hard to compete with online shopping.

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

News editors play a critical role in determining the content broadcasted on television and printed in newspapers.
