Nowadays technology is increasingly being used to monitor what people are saying and doing( for example, through cellphone tracking and security cameras. In many cases, the people being monitored are unaware that this is happening. Do you think advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?

Nowadays, modern technologies
such
 as tracking system have been widely applied in every aspect of our life. It is argued by some that being monitored is a violation of human right, while others hold a view that cellphone tracking systems can stabilize societies. But, I, personally , support a view that the systems can contribute more good deeds than devastating results to our societies.
First
 off, many think that if governments place the GPS location system into individual's cellulars, it is highly likely that they will be supervised.
However
, they wrongly assume that governments will be able and willing to implement
such
 a strategy.
Although
 generally having significant revenues each year, not all governments have a financial surplus. Many nations, facing tough issues
such
 as extreme poverty and regional conflicts, are unable to put
such
 a scheme which would cost them millions of dollars, into action.
Additionally
, spying on ordinary citizens extensively who are usually surrounded by trivial things is impossible to collect effective intelligence and probably generates unaffordable labour expense for hiring professionally trained staffs. So the outcome of using tracking phones may not be as terrible as we thought.
Secondly
, if we hypothesize that there exist no tracing technologies, many irreversible effects may happen.
For instance
, it would take a longer time for cops to arrest precarious culprits. A sea of murders could not be caught as soon as possible,
thus
 resulting in the turbulence of our societies to a great extent. It would be
also
 out of the question for the crowd to retrieve the electronic devices they have lost, for which they may spend a fortune, a severe inconvenience that could make every citizen's life troublesome.
Although
 it is unassailable that offenders are possible to invade our private electrical tools through tracking,
however
,
such
 crimes can be solved by officers quite prompt by using advanced locating techniques. So, the skills can exert more advantages and less negative reverberations. In conclusion, though the technologies aforementioned do have their adverse sides, their virtues,
nevertheless
 surpass the demerits.

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
