People have different views about how the young generation should behave in order to get the most successful
career
 opportunities. While some argue that it’s better to get the required knowledge and
career
 attributes at the earliest, I personally believe that academic qualifications can provide more opportunities to grow professionally in the long term. On the one hand, an increasing tendency of today’s youth to choose

 beneficial, especially for specialities where personal attributes and creative thinking are more valued rather than educational attainment.

On the other hand
, I believe that graduates from higher educational institutions can gain more chances for employment and promotion for years to come. In my opinion, in the current competitive market where the percentage of educated people is low, people with bachelor's degrees are able to compete for better employment benefits, higher income and advancement opportunities.

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
