In the modern world, people are more inclined towards the small family, which has both the positive and the negative points.
This
 essay will highlight the adverse effects on social
life
first
, followed by the advantages in the form of better education and lifestyle. One of the major adversaries of small family is a drop in communal relationships. With lesser individuals in a family, there are lesser number of friends and relatives, so, they can rely on limited support and advice in the times of difficulties. It is widely believed that man is a social animal and to live a happy
life
, he depends on other human beings.
As a result
 of
this
 trend in family size, people are more prone to isolation.
Consequently
, they are involved in various activities like drugs.
Moreover
, the mental illnesses like depression are
also
 on the rise.
For example
, a recent study has related the rising psychiatric diseases to the scarce social interactions.
On the other hand
, there are benefits related to small families.
Firstly
, the kids in
such
 families get better investments and care regarding their education. They are admitted in the best schools and their increasing demands are fulfilled by the parents easily, compared to the parents who with more children.
Furthermore
, the parents can provide them more time and help with their homework.
For instance
, with small families, the educational standards have improved in Switzerland.
Secondly
, the
life
 standards have been boosted with the current trends of the small family. Individuals have an overall reduction in their expenditures and their savings are going up. With more amounts in hand, they spend more on shopping, tourism, amenities and vehicles.
This
 aids in lifting the standards of living and broadening the general awareness and the social scope of the persons.
For example
, the Chinese people spend more on the luxuries than the Pakistanis and
that is
 largely because of a difference in their family sizes. In conclusion, family size has implications on the daily lives and overall quality of
life
, with small families, providing positives in the form of better education and
life
 amenities but with a negative of decreased cohesion in the society.

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
