 the natural sequel to the burgeoning population of cars.
Moreover

On the other hand
, I believe the advantages of a
car
 are more significant. The most important advantage is that it has given people freedom of movement. The ease of transportation which a
car
 brings is more than any other means of transportation.
For instance
, you can go from destination to destination and time is wasted waiting for the bus or train.

 are of major importance to a country's economy.
In addition
, many developing nations have begun making automobiles to boost their economy.
That is
 why India has promoted many automobile manufacturing industries
such
 as Tata and Mahindra. On balance, the advantages to people's lives and the economic impact created by the
car
 definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

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
