In other words
, it is better to do the practice than to learn it by reading.
Additionally
, learning does not get dull and boring because of practical knowledge. When you travel, you directly engage yourself in the use of the language and the traditions. Ordering food at a local shop could be an example of learning the language in a foreign place.The local people mostly don't know your dialect so in order to communicate you learn basic words unconsciously.
Hence
, moving to a different country to learn about its traditions and linguistic culture is commendable.
However

task response
Task Response: The essay provides a clear response to the task, expressing a strong agreement with the notion that to learn a language and customs, one must travel to the country. Ensure to address both sides of the argument for a well-rounded discussion.
coherence and cohesion
Coherence and Cohesion: The essay has a generally clear logical structure and is well supported with relevant examples. However, the introduction and conclusion need to be more developed and connected to the main body of the essay for a better flow of ideas and coherence.

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
