Many people believe that modern music can have a negative impact on the young. Others believe the effect of modern music is positive. Discuss both these views and give your opinion

#people #music #impact #effect
A few
people
 assert that listening to contemporary
music
 is bad for the young generation, whereas others endorse the present-day
music
 due to its positive effects. I intend to discuss both the views followed by my opinion. On the one hand, those who favour former notion opine that modern
music
 gives amusement and thrills to the listener. As
this
 kind of
music
 often comprise of high noise musical instruments
such
 as drums and so on, rythm of heavy beat gives adrenaline rush which cannot be provided by classical calm
music
.
For example
, it is generally seen in the concert
people
 dancing and jumping while listening to heavy metal bands
such
 as Metallica, Slayer, thereby giving full enjoyment to the audience at the shows.
On the other hand
, proponents of the latter view assert that contemporary
music
 is depressive. It is primarily due to the fact that lyrics of the songs and themes of the artists depict the gloomier face of the society which can change the perception of young fan followers in a negative way. To illustrate, dresses of the various bands have a particular theme comprising of dark-faced masks and violent designs of t-shirts.
This
 negative theme of present-day
music
 groups often impinges tender minds. In my perspective, modern
music
 has a negative impact on society as it makes young
people
 more aggressive. In fact, these days
people
 need more calm and sublime
music
 which can give peace to their fast-moving life.
Furthermore
, listening to soothing
music
 can relax the body and act as meditation to the body,
however
,
this
 aspect is not possible while listening to loud
music
 of present days. To conclude,
although
 modern
music
 gives an excitement to the listeners, still, I believe, it should
be listened
Change to the active voice
listen
listened
show examples
 occasionally as it affects the thinking of young blood in an adverse way.

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
