In the modern world, many people think that living in a horizontal city is much better convenient while the opponents of

 idea argue that it had better to live in vertical buildings. While I accept that there are benefits to people living in low-rise building, I would argue that high-rise construction could bring more advantages in various aspects of life. On the one hand, the option to dwell in a horizontal city can be beneficial for residents in some reasons.
Firstly
Linking Words
, people who live in high building often suffer from many high-priced services
such

 as security fee or parking fee.
Therefore
Linking Words
, if residents settle into their private house, they can save
such
Linking Words
 a great deal of money to pursue other passions like getting on an abroad travel or charitable donation.
Furthermore
Linking Words
, living in low-rise building can be safer to some extent.
For example
Linking Words
, in case of emergency like fire, it will not take so much time for people to escape from the dangerous areas.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, it seems to me that residents should choose to live in a vertical city because of a variety of undeniable reasons.
First
Linking Words
, in the state-of-the-art skyscrapers, they are designed and constructed as complex buildings and all facilities are arranged in an area.
This
Linking Words
 means that residents may shop or entertain in the same area they live without having to travel far from home.
Moreover
Linking Words
, because high building can accommodate a big amount of residents;
as a result
Linking Words
, there will be more land free for public use. The government can use
this
Linking Words
 land to build hospitals, schools or low-priced dormitories for poor students.

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
