Some people think that art is an essential subject for children at school while others think it is a waste of time. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

There has always been a raging debate whether
art
 is an important subject for children in schools or it can be neglected in the views of other important subjects. I am going to scrutinize on both the aspects in
further
 paragraphs before forming any opinion in the
last
.
To begin
 with, on the one side of the coin, there are many reasons for supporting other important subjects in the children’s school curriculum;
firstly
, modern technology like computer literacy has become the need of the hour. It is one of the most demanded skills for job in every sector. If they spend most of their time in learning
art
 they will not be able to face cut-throat competitions of
this
 scenario.
Moreover
, the knowledge of essential subjects like math, science is highly required in every field.
Secondly
,
Art
 despite being highly appreciated, still do not ensure any career growth because most of the fields like engineering, marketing, IT professionals and managers are a found graduated and post graduated in these important subjects. On the other flip side of the coin,
art
 is a creative skill that has wonderful imagination power. It provides the wings to the fantasy and expresses the feelings without exchange of words. To illustrate, once I have come across with the painting in which the difference between the rich and poor’s plight was depicted through painting only.
Moreover
, music is
also
 a piece of
art
 and works as a healing therapy into hectic world.
Secondly
, artists bring laurels for the country across the world and ensure that the cultural heritage of the country may not extinct. For
this
 they are highly paid and appreciated. That kind of respects is not less than flourishing careers. To conclude, in my views the selections of the subjects should be left on the students in which they are interested because that very interest help them to grow in their lives.

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
