We cannot help everyone in the world that needs help, so we should only be concerned with our own communities and countries.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

In recent years, some people have argued that we cannot help others who live outside of our country because our abilities are limited, while there are opponents who have different ideas. I totally agree with the view that we should try our best to help as much as possible. On the one hand, there is an important reason that everyone may need help wherever they live. It is impossible that a person's life will be calm forever, which means everyone will experience frustration and difficulty that requires others' help to solve.
Therefore
, we can get help from other communities or even other countries if we are currently assisting others.
For example
, New Zealand, which is a developed country in Oceania, accepts hundreds of refugees from countries experiencing war each year. In 2011, those countries gave their hands when Christchurch, which is the
third
biggest city in New Zealand, experienced a horrible earthquake.
On the other hand
, I agree with those who have the view that helping others is
also
helping yourself. What we consider is that the connections between different communities or countries are increasing and complex, which means you will face dilemmas if others experience difficulties.
That is
why it is beneficial for you to help others, even if they are in different places.
For example
, by 2011, all countries encountered an issue that the price of hard disks rose to double than before, because Thailand, which has the greatest number of hard disk manufacturers, suffered a flood
that is
rare in a century.
However
, the price went back to normal level because a massive number of countries had sent their rescue players to help Thailand. In conclusion, for the reasons mentioned above, I believe that we should try our best to help others who live beyond national borders.

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
