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

Curiosity can be seen in many ways. Please share an example of how you have demonstrated curiosity and how that has influenced your growth.
As I mentioned earlier, when I was in the school era, I sell things that were trending at that time. Not only that, in the college era, I was working as an intern for 5 times. Starting from being a marketing team in a startup, project management, sales and business development, and the last one as a management consultant. Outside interning in some companies, I like to learn new things that are far from my specialization, such as coding classes and I found that I didn’t enjoy coding that much. From knowing that, I was satisfied enough because at least I know that coding is not my thing, so I can focus on my strengths. I kept tryring to find which specialization that suits me the most. Try another one and keep looking and trying new things. Luckily, later I realize that I actually like understanding every aspect, not in a deeper level, but I can connect the dots between all of it. As the more I understand myself, I can be more selective on which specialization that I want to focus on....

Some people say that art subjects such as music, drama and creative writing era an essential part of education, and every school should include them in its syllabus. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give your opinion and examples form your own experience.
There is an argument whether the government should adopt an approach to add art subjects to the syllabus as an essential part of the curriculum or not. In my opinion, art subjects are same important as academic subjects such as mathematics, physics, and science. I strongly agree with this statement and I will examine it.
