Some people say that music is a good way of bringing people of different cultures and ages together. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Many people in the world listen to
music
daily, regardless of their cultural backgrounds and ages. I partly agree with the opinion that
music
is a good way to unite and connect people of different cultures and at different ages. The opinion has a disadvantage in the way that it is difficult for different kinds of people to bond with each other by
music
since people's taste of
music
varies according to their cultural backgrounds and ages. Even though English is becoming the world common language, people yet like songs that artists sing in their native language.
For example
, Japanese songs are more popular than foreign songs in Japan and Japanese songs always occupying higher ranks of
m
usic charts
Suggestion
the music charts
in Japan.
Also
, the young don't try to listen to songs released before they were born and
similarly
the old is unwilling to listen to songs popular among young people.
On the other hand
, accepting the disadvantage mentioned above, I would argue that
music
has the power to bring different kinds of people together.
Music
indeed is one of just a few things
such
people talk about with one another.
Music
can be a gate to the conversation and leads to another conversation topic, which makes different types of people open up to each other.
For example
, when I travelled to Thailand a few years ago, I get close to a pretty older local person for the reason that we had the same taste of
music
. In
this
way,
music
transcends cultures and generations. In conclusion, while accepting the difficulty of bonding with people, irrespective of cultures and ages, in my opinion,
music
can unite and connect people regardless of their cultural backgrounds and generations.

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
