#countries #people #rent #house
A majority of people in some nations prefer to live in rented houses
instead
 of buying houses.
This
 essay will
first
 suggest that relocation is the primary benefit while keeping the house clean is the main drawback. The principal advantage of renting a house is that it is easy to relocate.
That is
 to say that people can easily move to new houses if they do not like their existing houses, and they can
also
 choose houses based on their current financial status. The result of
this
 is people can live peacefully.
For example
, a recent article published in a renowned newspaper in India stated that more than 70% of the people prefer to live in rented houses so that they can move closer to their children's schools. The major disadvantage of living in rented houses is that it should always be kept clean.
In other words
, owners want tenants to keep their houses clean, and they do not want their tenants to hang pictures or ornaments to walls. So, tenants should adjust to the rules framed by the owners.
For instance
, a recent comprehensive government survey in the USA found that 90% of the tenants in its country were made to vacate as they had hanged the pictures of their parents to their walls. In conclusion, the upside of staying in a rented house is that it is easy to relocate to new houses, whereas maintaining houses clean is the downside.

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
