Speaking in front of audiences is an ability of which people struggle. I think speaking skills are really important. Some people argue that it should be taught at school and I partially agree with the argument. For several reasons speaking skills are very important for students, university students and every member of society.
Firstly
, the one who is talkative, can attract others attention very easily.
For example
, at school, the students who have special speaking skills are able to attract both teachers and pupils' attention.
Moreover
, they
also
 manage their lecture presentation easier than the others.
Although
 it is crucial for students to have speaking skills, it is more important for university students as they have to give presentation for more audience.
Secondly
, the individuals who have speaking skills can manage to achieve their goals at work. They may convince their bosses to promote them to higher positions.
Finally
, every member of society should have a minimum requirement and self confidence to give a speech to the audience.
On the other hand
, in my opinion, the speech abilities should be taught during school by teachers and at home by parents.
Initially
, the kids are looking at their parents and imitate their habits. If the parent talk in a right way, the children try to speak confidently.
However
, they may not be able to teach them how to gain the skills, teachers have been trained to teach children how to speak more fluently and self esteem.
For instance
, the teacher can ask each member of the class to give a speech to others frequently and for different topics. In conclusion, speaking skills are crucial for everybody and children should be taught the skills by parents and teachers.

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
