It has often been said that Good

is bad

because it does not sell

. A

station that once decided to present only good

soon found that it had gone out of business for lack of listeners. Bad

news

on the other hand is so common that in order to cope with it, we often simply ignore it. We have become immune to bad

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

without capital punishement our lives are less secure and crime of violence increase.capital punishment is essential to control violence in society
None of the countries around the world are safe from criminals and have overwhelmed people. In order to control them, it is suggested that they should be sentenced to death, which can decrease the number of crimes. I strongly disagree with this proposal because they should be given another chance.

Many people in work settings would treat their colleagues as their school friends, go out on the weekends and/or in the evenings with them, and ect. While that is a good way to be more social and gain popularity, to then gain trust from other people, some may see it as innapropriate and that it is important to keep a clear line between work life and social life.
