Some people argue that the government should give every unemployed person a mobile phone and should make sure they have access to the Internet. They believe this is the best way of using public money to reduce the problem of unemployment. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is believed that the unemployed should be provided with mobile phones and Internet access, all expenses covered by the state, in order to reduce the unemployment rate. (mention public money). My opinion,

Therefore
, Internet access fails to substitute traditional ways of becoming an expert and getting employed.
Secondly
, in order to address the problem of unemployment, the government should invest public money in local businesses rather than giving away end-user mobile devices to those in need. The rate of unemployment often correlates with the ability of local companies to provide enough jobs.

However
tempting it is to provide unemployed people with mobile phones and let them solve their own problems, it does not seem to be a good idea in a long term, compared to governmental support for local businesses, including new ones.

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
