It is true that boys and girls tend to show a sharp difference in subject preferences;

in particular

, girls usually opt for art subjects while boys tend to choose science classes. There are several reasons to explain

this

tendency, and I think it should be changed so that the decision of students is only affected by their true interest. The distinction in boys’ and girls’ educational choices can be attributed to the gender-specific characteristics and stereotypes people have about them.

Firstly

boys

Suggestion

the boys

are usually better at logical thinking, which allows

enables them to have a better grasp of analytical subjects

such

as math, physics or chemistry. Girls,

on the contrary

, are regarded as more conscientious and patient,

thus

more apt to make the grade

succeed in subjects requiring meticulousness.

Secondly

, the traditional perception that certain subjects are meant for certain students and not others

also

play a part in the major choice of both sexes. Even today, most people implicitly associate males with science and female with arts, leading many male students hesitating to choose art classes, as they fear they would be considered girly to do so.

Similarly

, these stereotypes discourage females from pursuing science as they feel

inadequate

Accept comma addition

inadequate, thus

thus

afraid of falling behind with their studies. I believe that

this

tendency needs some alteration. Some people may take the traditional view that students should only focus on a field

area compatible to

suitable for their gender-specific personalities.

However

, it would be of more importance for students to be at liberty to choose what they are truly passionate about, even subjects labelled unfit for their gender identity. Forcing students to attend an unwanted course may lead to undesirable outcomes. An illustration here is a male friend of mine in high school, who was forced to pursue engineering, though he always showed great enthusiasm for cooking and

then

he ended up dropping out of university due to a lack of motivation and poor performance. In conclusion, there are some main reasons THAT help explain

students’ different choices

Suggestion

the students’ different choices

of subjects, it is my personal belief that students should have the freedom to take up any subjects they wish.

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
