The older generations tend to have very traditional ideas about how people should live, think and behave. However, some people believe that these ideas are not helpful in preparing younger generations for modern life. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this

. While I agree that some traditional views are outdated, I believe that others are still useful and should be conserved. On the one hand, some conventional viewpoints are not suitable in modernizing society.
For example
, in the past, gender discrimination appeared in a huge number of families, women were considered to be housewives while men’s role was breadwinners.
This
 phenomenal are no longer accepted by young people and they should be eliminated. At the same time, parents force their children to follow previous generation’s steps.
As a result
, children could not purchase their dreams and they worked without passion.
On the other hand
, some traditional norms are still valuable in modern-day.
For instance
, the elderly always assert the critical role of hard working. Obviously, working hard was the key leading to succeed and

In addition
, forefathers teach the young people about the importance of politeness and respect. Today, adults are becoming independent,
therefore
 they are showing less respect towards their parents. I believe that these characters contribute in making awareness of the young that parents have to be respected.
Moreover

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
