Some people believe that violence on television and in computer games has a damaging effect on the society. Others deny that these factors have any significant influence on people's behaviour. What is your opinion?

There is no doubt that harmful content on television will have a negative impact on the society, but it is always better to know the things that are happening in and around us to protect ourselves from dangerous situations.
Although
 some people say that telecast of the harmful content will have bad impact on society, I would say that it is good to have a clear vision to be safe in each and every situation. On the one hand, those who believe that display of the crime is deleterious might argue that it will influence the people who are watching the particular scene.
This
 is because it gives idea to a person how to commit crime and escape from a particular location.
For example
, we can see that there are many young people who are committing crimes by watching movies.
In contrast
, if the movies are not showing these things will have a good impact on the society.
On the other hand
, I believe that it will be useful because it will make the people to be more aware of the situation. The reason for
this
 is people will be more careful and attentive towards the things that are happening in and around the surroundings.
For instance
, if there is someone who is trying to kill a person
then
 that person can take necessary precautions to save him from a particular circumstance. If
this
 awareness does not spread among the people there can be situations where an individual can be in a critical situation. In conclusion, despite the danger of having the telecast of violence in television, it is my firm belief that it can help many people to protect them from dangerous situations.

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
