Over the past decades, there have been a vast number of machinery breakthroughs. It is widely believed that it is meaningless to (remain) preserve conventional lifestyles or skills. I strongly disagree with

point of view, as I suppose that they always bring particular values in our life. On the one hand, automation brings positive impacts in various aspects in daily life. In fact, there have been more and more innovative machines in many fields

as science, education, or daily domestic activities which are extremely useful and convenient. In terms of domestic chores,
for example

, many families in big cities, parents often buy labor-saving devices like vacuum cleaners, washing machines, or dishwashers,
instead

of wasting a long time to do that, so they are able to control their time more flexibly to do necessary or pleasant things like reading books or cooking. Plenty of evidence suggests that automation has affected positively to our life so much.
On the other hand

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
