and foremost, advanced technology has created a platform for one to maintain the communications with his near and dear ones despite the hectic schedules. To epitomize, people in the 21st century are able to communicate across the globe in the real time, using texts or face times. In spite of long and continuous chats among a peer group of young adults, their interpersonal conversations with the family members is being reduced drastically. I think, modern generation is turning its face from 'sharing and caring' to isolation in the name of privacy. Perhaps, the aggressive games and unsubstantial and indirect exchange of thoughts is the reason of anxiety and depression problems in the millennials.

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
