Some people believe that technology has made people’s lives easier while others think the opposite. Which do you believe and why? Give explanations and examples to support your opinion.

There seem to be contrasting views as to whether
technology
has improved our standard of living or not. I believe that it has tremendously affected our way of life in a positive manner. In
this
essay, I will explain the reasons behind my point of view.
Firstly
, it has bettered our means of communication. In the past, to communicate with someone
in
Suggestion
at
far distances, we usually employ the use of handwritten letters.
This
method takes too much time before the recipient receives the message.
However
, today the time lag is closed.
For instance
, an individual in Nigeria can comfortably send message to someone in Canada through an instant messaging platform called Whatsapp and the person gets it almost immediately.
Secondly
, we
also
have easier means of transportation today made possible by
technology
. Many years ago, moving from one location to another was a hard task as people spend days and even weeks on the journey. But today, movement across the globe is made possible in splits of seconds.
For example
, the introduction of aircrafts which replaced carts used by man before. Aircrafts can fly one from Nigeria to Canada in 14 hours as against the months spent commuting the distance by cart. In conclusion, Despite the argument questioning the
proftitability
the quality of affording gain or benefit or profit
profitability
of
technology
to man, I believe that
technology
has greatly enhanced our living standards.

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
