It is often argued that too much time is being spent in

 to teach subjects like

. It would be beneficial if more time is spent in imparting vocational training to
students which

students, which
, in the long run, will help them to earn a living. I partially agree with
this

 view because in my opinion, though teaching practical skills is important, other core subjects like
History

, Geography, and Literature have their advantages too. In
this
Linking Words
 essay, I will shed some light on
this
Linking Words
 point of view. It cannot be refuted that in today's times of globalisation, vocational training is very important for securing jobs.
Firstly

, in today's
job

 market, more skilled and technically sound workers are needed. Since vocational training gives hands-on experience and is
practical

student

 to survive the pressures of a particular

 in the real world.
Secondly

, vocational training is specifically beneficial to students who, due to financial or intellectual constraints, are unable to pursue tertiary

 education.
Last

 but not the least, vocational training is practical and its inclusion in the

 curriculum may help a

 to understand where his aptitude lies. In future, the

 studies. To illustrate, a

On the other hand

, it is true that teaching traditional core subject is equally important because the aim of any form of education is to impart

 while removing ignorance.
Firstly

level

 helps in widening the overall outlook of a

 towards the world. It helps in the all-round development of a

.
For example

, the study of
history

 is actually the study of

mankind, which
 familiarizes us to our roots, customs, and values. A person without basic
knowledge

 of
history

 is like a fallen leaf who doesn't know to which tree it belonged.
Secondly
Linking Words
, while studying these traditional subjects, a
student

 may realise his liking for the subject and may be inclined to pursue higher studies in that field. It would be too naive to say that higher studies in subjects like

 and Geography do not have

 prospects.
Finally

, a well-equipped and knowledgeable person is an asset to the society. In conclusion, I believe that

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
