Some people think that paying tax is their only duty while others believe that we have more responsibilities towards society. Discuss both view and give your opinion.

#people #tax #duty #responsibilities #society

While it is believed by some that citizens are only responsible for tax payment, others argue that they are supposed to do more for their societies. In my opinion, I believe that people are responsible for way more than just paying taxes. On the one hand, some people argue that paying tax is the only duty citizens have for many reasons.

Firstly

, taxes help governments with funding crucial services

such

as, health care, education, and social security.

For instance

, many countries that charge high taxes provide free education to its citizens.

Secondly

, money from taxes is

also

spent on developing public transports, highways, railroads, and other facilities that make life easier and more convenient for individuals. Countries that do not charge taxes, like many underdeveloped countries, do not offer comfortable city life for its citizens,

therefore

, the importance of paying taxes.

On the other hand

, it is believed by others that people are obliged to do more than just pay taxes, and I agree. As humans, we cannot live alone,

therefore

, we are supposed to help other people in our society in order for countries to prosper and societies to be harmonious. If citizens were selfish and apathetic towards each other, there would be no chance for cooperation and

as a result

, societies would become fragmented and toxic.

Furthermore

, people ought to be aware of the environmental issues around them because

awareness promotes

Accept comma addition

awareness, promotes

action which,

consequently

, leads to change.

In other words

, if people feel responsible for the environment, they would adapt environmentally friendly lifestyles

such

as, walking or cycling

instead

of using cars, eliminating plastics, and planting more trees. In conclusion, despite people having different perspectives, I think that citizens have many responsibilities others than paying

taxes including

Accept comma addition

taxes, including

helping each other and caring for the environment.

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
