Some people think that news has no connection with people’s lives; so it is a waste of time to read newspapers and watch television news programs. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is believed that there is no connection between people’s life and news, so it is
time
-consuming to read newspaper and watch the television to get more information. In my point of view, I partly agree with
this
statement because getting the knowledge from the news
also
has its own benefits. On the one hand, people nowadays are really busy with their work, so there is no leisure
time
for them to read and watch the news, which is tabloid or fake news, so it will be a waste of
time
.
Moreover
, news on TV
also
likes that, it always repeats the news for a long
time
, so it would make the viewers feel boring when watching them. So
instead
of watching those tabloid news they can do many things that helpful to their work.
For example
, the young people nowadays tend to read news about their idol which does not have any benefits for their studying quality, so if they spend that
time
on studying, they would have a better life in the future.
On the other hand
, reading news
also
brings the benefits for us, if we know how to choose the good news to read.
To begin
with, the students should read the news relate to the cultural information or scientific knowledge, so it will expand the horizon and they will have a good mark in that field.
Moreover
, cultural news provides readers the traditional culture of all countries from all over the world, which is a really good tool to ready for the globalization.
For example
, Discovery channel, which provides the viewers the information about the creature in the natural life, and it will not waste the
time
on
this
program. To sum up,
although
some news is wasting people’s
time
to follow, it will be a good tendency if the reader can choose the right news to read.

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
