Presently many people work hard in noise and stressful surroundings full day,
therefore
 after they feel fatigue and headache.
Moreover
, everyone are not the same,
therefore
 they prefer to spend difference free time, someone use tools for enhancing brain while others give a rest of the full body.
Thus
, I think active recreation as effective as passive one, and it depends completely on preference of people. Currently, people who prefer in free time test or improve mind can gain access easier to all word games whatever they want. Since, around the world grows popularity of puzzle games,
therefore
 their types are expanding, modifying and getting access to different devices.
For example
, people in the past bought the newspaper with crossword puzzles:
however
, today customers have it on smartphones, the PC and so on,
moreover
, each person can find own type of word games
such
 as the Key-word or the Spaceword.
Furthermore
, scientist around the world prove
such
 activity keep memory healthy and can hinder Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Another version of active leisure is reading books that help people diminish stress level.
For example
, today we have not only the scientist or serious genres of books, but the humour or more for fun too,
such
 as the humorous detective or fantastic.
Therefore
,
this
 type activity helps relax and up mood at the same time.
However
, many people prefer nothing to do, especially what is touching brain.
For example
, someone lay on sofa with eyes are closed or sits in a park, all whatever people want depending on a place there they live and level of tiredness.
Thus
,
this
 type of rest provides benefit to all muscles of the head and help them recover. To sum up, I believe people can independently decide that version of the rest they want;
however
, my preferable activity is puzzle games and not serious books.

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
