"These days One of the most spoken issues is whether government should avoid spending on public celebrations. Since I believe
such
 activities are vital for a country’s customs and traditions, I disagree with
this
 notion.
To begin
 with important events in the history like nation’s independence, formation of republic government is vital milestones achieved by enormous hard work and sacrifices of our ancestors. It is mandatory to appreciate and acknowledge the privilege given to us by honouring and remembering them.
For instance
, on Independence day, authorities spend a lot of money to organize events from parades to cultural events like dance, music and art which portray our culture and heritage. These events attract people from around the nation and even from remote countries to witness the grand celebration.
This
, in turn brings in more money to the economy through people’s travel, shopping and sometimes even through donation. Another Reason why I disagree because festivals like Holi, Diwali are celebrated across the nation in a grand manner, which I feel is crucial for individuals and for society. The government is setting up a platform for these festivals, facilitate people to come together and enjoy. Nowadays, most of the families are nuclear, and an event like
this
 in the city gives them an opportunity to get out and spend time with friends and families.
Furthermore
, it helps our
next
 generation to learn why we celebrate by learning our history and the intricacies of the rituals followed in each kind of festival. In conclusion, I firmly agree that money used by the ministry of the nation for celebrating the festivities and social events are essential as it ensures to bring peace and union in the country

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
