Some parents say that giving expensive gifts to a child can create bad habits in him/her. Agree or disagree.

These days many parents are buying expensive gifts for their children. While some argue that
such
gifts create a detrimental effect on them, I,
however
, agree with
this
view for two reasons. The primary reason why most parents should not buy
such
gifts is that children do not value it. To elucidate, the majority of teenagers do not give importance to
such
expensive gifts because they are not enough mature to handle it and could spoil it intentionally or unintentionally.
Also
, most children often get bored easily and do not use or touch them again.
For example
, a survey conducted by the Child Welfare Organisation in India found that 85% of teenagers do not see or use those expensive gifts again that are bought from their parents.
Therefore
, parents should not get
such
costly gifts for them. Another reason is getting addicted to buying
such
expensive gifts every time. It is true that once a child gets
such
costly gift they become addicted to having
such
valuable items in the future even though their parents do not financially sound.
For instance
, in China, 55% of children want expensive phones
such
as the latest version of the iPhone or the Samsung from their parents as they bought once from them earlier.
Such
habits not only does it spoil them, but
also
put mentally and financially pressure on their parents.
Hence
, they do not allow their children to get
such
costly gifts. In conclusion,
although
some are in the favour of buying valuable gifts for their children is good, I disagree with them as children do not value
such
presents, spoils them knowingly or unknowingly and lead to them to have always
such
gifts with them.

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
