Some teachers think that international student exchange would be beneficial for all teenage school students. Do you think its advantages will outweigh the disadvantages?

Nowadays, foreign exchanging programmes are hold popularly in many countries

famous universities or even secondary and primary schools. Some teachers believe that these activities would bring for teenage school students advantages a great deal. Despite some drawbacks of
this
idea, I think that the benefits are more significant. On the one hand, there are two major disadvantages when teenage students decide to join in international

projects. In the
first
place, the drawback is

shock. A teenager

For instance

conflicts in eating, sleeping, listening music habits. The religions are different like

in Asia, Mohammedanism in Africa, Catholicism in Europe, Hinduism in India will become a big obstacle, too. Another disadvantage is that many students are unable to follow international learning programmes, leading to undesirable academic outcomes. Some of my friends,
for example
, have to re-sit the exams or have difficulties catching up with their lectures due to poor language skills.
On the other hand

exchange
students
are given

the opportunity to meet different people from all over the world and learn a range of skills that they might not have a chance to learn if studying in their country.
For instance
, they can develop their social skills by sharing experience with other
exchange
students and get a deeper knowledge into the
culture
by immersing themselves in the local community. Another benefit is that living in a different country helps
exchange
students become more independent.
This
is because without daily support from their parents, these students have to learn to cook, clean, manage their budgets and make their own decisions. All in all,
although
exchange
students might have difficulties in adapting to the new
culture
and following international school curriculums, I believe that the benefits of international
exchange
programmes do outweigh those drawbacks.

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
