The news is an important source of knowledge for all of us about the world, especially in this era of technology. Journalists are mainly responsible to bring this news to us but not all of them are true to their responsibilities and ethics. How much can we trust the journalists?

Due to the emergence of technology, we have online news portals

besides

the printed newspapers and it seems like anybody can be a journalist with a dot com website which puts an already questionable profession to more scrutiny and doubts. While trusting journalists and their reports, we should always verify the authenticity of the news and use our common sense. Without reading newspapers and watching the news, we will be unaware of the world around us and that's why newspapers are so important in our lives and play

such

a profound role in enhancing our knowledge. People who constantly work hard to bring that news and information to us are doing a tremendous job and they are often the reason we learn about corruptions, global crisis, updates on an important national issue and even learn the score of our favourite sports team. A responsible and honest journalist is like a soldier who fights a righteous battle to keep the citizens informed and eliminate corruptions and unjust from society.

However

, not all of them are true to their responsibilities and many of them put business and personal gains over ethics and responsibilities. When trusting a news report or a journalist,

thus

, we should always check the news source and the credibility of the reporter, especially in

this

era of modern technology where online news portals have grown and spread like mushrooms.

Clickbait

journalism and politically motivated news are constantly bombarding us with the help of social media and they have primarily one goal in mind - making money by playing with our emotions and political feelings. As informed readers, we must rely on authoritative newspapers and verify any news source before believing them.

For example

, I generally tend to believe the news I read on the BBC.

Com

but sometimes I

also

check the news on other sources just to on the safe side. Our common sense about news can be a big tool to filter out the fabricated news as we should read the truth, even if it is something we dislike rather than reading false news which is exactly what we want to hear or believe. To conclude, we have good journalists and bad journalists and it is our responsibility to be wary of non-authoritative news and not-so-credible journalists and use our senses to read important news which is based on facts and truth.

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

There has been an intriguing debate between those who believe younger generations should pursue university and others who argue practical education may be the best solution for a better society. Even though both sides have their concerns that affect their opinion, I believe the university path offers a greater chance for students to discover their life purpose.

With the rise in popularity of the internet, newspapers will soon become a thing of the past. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is widely argued that the increasing popularity of social media and the internet has resulted in a decline in the relevance and usage of newspapers. This essay strongly aligns with this notion due to the convenience, speed, and cost-effectiveness offered by digital media platforms.

Some people think foreign visitors should be charged more than local people when they visit the cultural and historical attractions in a country To what extent do you agree or disagree?
In some cultural and historical attractions in a country, including my country, foreign tourists are charged a higher price than local tourists.
