TOPIC 3: Being kind or being right. What matters to you more?

Heart and heart are two of the most important organisms in the human bodies. They work interdependently, function in harmony and support each other so that our human bodies can survive.
However
, it is a fact that no minuscule proportion of human beings, not to mention all, have found themselves in the situation in which they are polarized by these two body parts? What makes the question of whether to follow your head or your heart so intricate and dithering for everyone? Or
in other words
, why do so many people fear the prospects of them standing between the option of pure rationality and human
kindness
?
That is
the conundrum that will take many years to be discovered, but for my part, rightness always takes priority over
kindness
. As a German learner for eight months, I have found out an interesting and widespread stereotype about the German people. They are too direct, too honest that sometimes they are even deemed as impolite and arrogant by the foreigners. But surprisingly, and unsurprisingly as well, the German are globally famous for their efficiency and their productivity at work. Wondering if there is any rationale behind their productive results, I did some research on the Internet and felt taken aback when I found that it was indeed their blatant character that partly contributes to their trademark. The German are very careful and muss be accurate with every detailed statistics, any concealment for fiscal deficits or miscalculations would be severely upbraided.
In addition
, when working in Germany, employees must prepare themselves for vehement and sarcastic judgments from their managers and bosses should they make any mistakes, even the small ones, but for the sake of self- betterment. Personally, I find
this
German- working model so effective. Any errors or mismanagement should be clearly rectified, and I would
also
feel pleased and receptive to any flagrant and contributory complaints from others. Everything is for self- improvement. Being right equates to being kind.
That is
the lesson that I have acquired from an episode of Conan – The Detective, my favourite comics when I was small. Even though he wholeheartedly wanted to defend his idol from the sin of murder, it was still the glaring fact that his idol was the murderer, and as a detective, he had to disclose
this
hurting truth. Obviously, there are both rational and sentimental factors that influence a person's decision.
Nevertheless
, justice is one and only,
although
it is the truth that it hurts, even our flesh and blood, but in the meantime, it is a relief for others, or a symbol of
kindness
. In a long- term vision, when
kindness
is practiced over rightness, it will woefully lead to an apathetic culture, where every sin, even the most perverted and contemptuous is taken as normal, and a society in stagnation, where human shortcomings
is ignored
Suggestion
are ignored
under the camouflage of sympathy. It is my most ever- lasting mantra that as a human, it is our responsibility to bring justice to light. Indubitably,
kindness
is a crucial quality that set us apart from other animals. The development of any civilizations fundamentally stems from the sharing, sympathy and support within our human beings. But for me, I am not an emotion- oriented person, but more of a seeing- is- believing one, I would never let the sentiments overshadow my conscience. As a matter of course, I would be opposed by certain individuals, who criticize that I am too inflexible in my ways of handling, but I would
also
be pleased and not offended to be branded as a German type.

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
