About 30 years ago, the lives of our parents and grandparents were very different now, At that time, they still had no opportunity to contact the digital life like today. But I don't think that the opinion of the elderly is no longer useful for the current generation. Elderly people have valuable experiences that can be passed on and are

helpful labour forces of society. No matter what era, there are old people, and they are people who experience many things, especially as they had a lot of knowledge about aspects of life.

Although

The young people are quick-witted, they should listen to the advice from the elderly in order to have a better direction in growth.

For example

However

Although

Nevertheless

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

One of the challenges faced by international students is studying in Australia. Write a paragraph about some of the difficulties facing international students when they study in an Australian environment, based on your own experience and the experiences of other students in the class.
Many overseas students in Australia face challenges related to languages and culture while they are studying. First, language issues are a common problem among students. One of them is finding a new home, such as an apartment, unit, or house for rent. It could be difficult for them. The process starts with apps for renting houses, and many should have good reading skills to present impressive applications. It ends with reading long residential contracts to accept the offer. In addition, many students have a different background from Australians, which might cause them culture shock, which leads to several health disorders such as anxiety and depression. In conclusion, problems such as communication or culture shock need to be taken more seriously, and problems need to be solved.

Full-time university students spend much of their time on study. Some people think it is essential for them to take other activities. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Studying hard is an essential skill for achieving success in life. It is argued by some people that full-time students enrolled in universities must invest most of their time in their studies. However, in my opinion, showing interest in other activities is also a significant approach to get other benefits.
