Band 5.5

When a country develops its technology, the traditional skills and ways of life die out. It is pointless to try and keep them alive. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

#country #technology #skills #life
Over the past decades, there have been a vast number of
technology
 breakthroughs. It is widely believed that it is meaningless to remain conventional lifestyles or skills. I strongly disagree with
this
 point of view, as I suppose that these always bring particular values in our life. On the one hand,

positive impacts in various aspects in daily life. In fact, there have been more and more innovative machines in many fields
such
 as science, education, or daily domestic activities which are extremely useful and convenient. In t

instead
 of wasting a long time to do that, so they are able to control their time more flexibly to do necessary things like reading books or cooking. Plenty of evidence suggests that
technology
 has affected positively to our life so much.
On the other hand
, traditional ways or skills demonstrates cultural values. These values are customs, festival, or traditional jobs, which are transmitted from generation to generation.

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
