It is important for children to learn the difference between right and wrong at an early age. Punishment is necessary to help them learn this distinction. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion. What sort of punishment should parents and teachers be allowed to use to teach good behaviour to children?

Many deem it of high importance for their children to understand the disparity between right and wrong as soon as possible, and to impose
punishment
 in the process. While I firmly believe that the matter of correctness should be made known to children, parents should balance between giving positive and negative reinforcements to achieve their aim.
Moreover
, whenever
punishment
 is necessary, it is best used constructively. With the advancement in technology seen in the past decade, children of these days are exposed to the outside world much earlier than people from older generations were.
This
consequently
 arises concerns of their perspective of the world; fearing that they will mistake what is correct and not.
Therefore
, making children as young as toddlers able to discern right from wrong has never been more urgent. Often, parents and teacher perceive it is a must to impose
punishment
 as a control system for children, without which the endeavour will be less than optimal.
However
, constant negative reinforcement will only make children afraid without gaining something fundamental. Research has shown that
in both toddlers

both toddlers
 and adults, employing a balanced mix of both
punishment
 and reward is the best method to make people learn.
Nevertheless
, despite the need of sanction, it should be done wisely and thoughtfully. Adults must make sure to use it to deliver essences, rather than just giving task to be done pragmatically,
such
 as those kinds of punishments from the early 1900.
For instance
, when a child is mischievous, teacher should make him or her read a book and make summary out of it,
instead
 of asking for a whole page of mindlessly written promises. It is absolutely paramount for young children to distinguish good and bad, and adults should help them by using a control system. A good one will combine both reward and
punishment
 to ensure the optimality of the process.

At

the aim
an aim
 of self-improvement.

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
