has some negative effects, some people argue that playing the
video
game
can be harmless fun. Personally, I partly think the disadvantages of

game
outweigh the advantages. On the one hand,
video
games can be beneficial in some ways, entertaining and educational.
Firstly
, Gamers spend some time on virtual worlds which are always exciting and engaging. After a daily commute,
for instance
, people playing the

and relaxing could release them from real-life work pressure. For an educational perspective, some RPG games are designed based on real historical backgrounds,
such
as Creed of Assassin and Dynasty Warriors. Lots of history knowledge could be learned while people are enjoying it.
Furthermore
, some research has been shown that some of the puzzle

On the other hand
, there are some serious drawbacks of
video
games that we can’t ignore. Gaming can be highly addictive, and online games
in particular
, because the developers are constantly giving scores, new virtual equipment, targets and rewards to keep gamers playing it. These types of games usually luring people to spend money on it, to get better scores, weapons and

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
