Shopping is now one of the most popular forms of leisure activities in many countries for young adults. Why is this? Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?

Everyone needs time off from their tedious schedule to entertain or pleasure themselves. There are various means of joy for different people. Shopping has become one of the most expressive means of leisure activity practised among the youth. In the forthcoming paragraphs, I will be expressing my views on why
this
is so? and if
this
is a good or a bad evolution.
To begin
with, the advancement in the global world has had a great impact on the trend of shopping reaching these heights. May
this
be online shopping sites developed with the help of the web, competition between the brands, versatility in the fashion world especially for youngsters, etcetera. And to some extent, the mood swinging nature of young adults. By saying
this
I mean the getting attracted to specific product and
then
getting attached to another after watching an advertisement. Moving
further
, according to me, buying something out of necessity is beneficial for an individual rather than spending according to the changes happening around. Ease of shopping is an asset to be used when required not a hobby to practice. To illustrate,
for example
, my phone does not work properly and has to be changed , in
this
case,shopping becomes a need. But my phone works absolutely fine but, is outdated and in
this
scenario purchasing a newer model is a mere pleasure with no benefit. Before putting my pen down, I would like to state that one should understand the difference between satisfaction and pleasure. Ease of shopping should not be a hobby but an asset in the time of need .

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
