Finally, more and more work has to be done by machines. Do you think the positive effects of this development outweigh the negative effects on individuals and society?

Thanks to the advanced technologies, people live in a convenient environment,
however
Linking Words
, there are threats to mankind that the human workforce will be useless by the high level of technologies, including artificial intelligence. On the flip side, there are positive effects on humanity, but I believe there are many more negative effects on not only individuals but
also
Linking Words
our society. Admittedly, I partly agree that there are some merits that the human workforce's restoration of the cutting-edge skilled machine. In the
first
Linking Words
place, from the perspective of citizens, they can enjoy their activities more, compared to the past that they were over-worked and sacrificed their value and moment to the task.
For example
Linking Words
, the population will spend their day playing
instead
Linking Words
of working.
This
Linking Words
is because the machines will reduce their working time and endeavours to production.
Thus
Linking Words
, people can focus on their hearts and spend more hour with their family or friends. On the flip side, the view of the government, they can reduce the risk of dangerous works' accidents. Of all the jobs supporting our society, some jobs might be a threat to individuals,
such
Linking Words
as cleaning nuclear wastes or manufacturing weapons. In
this
Linking Words
regard, the stand-in has some positive effects.
Nevertheless
Linking Words
. I, as one of the opponents of
this
Linking Words
view, think the replacement has more drawbacks than benefits.
First
Linking Words
of all, as far as the function of the occupation is deeply concerned, it works not only achieving one's goal, but
also
Linking Words
earning a living on their salaries in a practical term.
In other words
Linking Words
, people cannot move forward without working,
however
Linking Words
,
for instance
Linking Words
, given that the place for people is replaced by the robot, people will be frustrated due to they might feel they are useless anymore and inevitably worry about how to live their life without money. Another reason worth mentioning is an aspect of the ministry of the nation, they usually organised and run their country with taxes,
however
Linking Words
, if people cannot pay a tax, and even they have to get a subsidy from the local government,
consequently
Linking Words
, the situation will be harder than ever. In conclusion, there are some advantages that the substitution of the high technologies, including, more relaxed life, or safety works
instead
Linking Words
of occupations that no one willing to do.
However
Linking Words
, considering the negative effects, those replacements will be harmful to everyone in the long term.
Additionally
Linking Words
, the time that machines replaced the human workforce comes true in the near future,
thus
Linking Words
the government should prepare.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
