Nowadays, people tend to migrate from their native countries to another to look for a better life, either to find employment or to study. While living abroad is beneficial in some aspects, the drawbacks are more significant.
To begin
 with, there are some considerable pros of living overseas.
First
, people will have the opportunity to have a solid foundation in soft skills. Almost companies value international experiences, even if people move away for entertainment. When a person migrates to another country, there have been always an improvement in their communication, social, and networking skills.
Secondly
, living abroad is not a bad decision if an adult wants to find a job with a high salary and expanded career opportunities.
For example
, the average salary of a normal factory worker in Vietnam is 6 million per month, while in japan that figure is tenfold. Despite the positives mentioned above, living in a foreign country is a negative development for various reasons.
First
 of all, one reason worth mentioning is the cultural shock.

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
