With the advancement of 21st century, the technology has brought to us many aspects of life far more engaging than they were before. Advertising which has been just through brochures or newspapers, now appear on TV and billboards. While some people think advertising encourages us to buy new products, others believe it makes us buy things that we don'

generally require in our lives. I personally agree with the former opinion. Advertising has been a part and parcel of human lives ever since the age of industrialization. Since the production of goods and the globalization of markets, by the import and export of the goods, it is much easier to access goods that once took generally long periods of generation.

Additionally

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
