Some people think that the range of technology currently available is increasing the gap between rich people and poor people. Others think that it is causing the opposite effect. Discuss both the views and give your opinion.

In modern society, there is a heated debate about whether technological advancements are increasing the

gap

between wealthy and poor

people

. While the notion of the development of

technology

caused the distance of social classes is opposed by a few, I am firmly convinced that

technology

would be good for citizens for some reasons. On the one hand, I strongly believe that certain inventions and discoveries decreased the

gap

between

people

of different income levels.

This

is because they are accessible to all

people

due to their availability at cheaper rates.

For example

, internet

technology

is available to all most places

such

as railway stations, parks and airport where WIFI hotspots are freely accessible.

Besides

, online shopping, e-learning opportunities and social networking websites are available for both the rich and the poor in the society,

thus

the

gap

between both two classes is worn away.

On the other hand

, certain advancements in

technology

are not affordable for the poorer sections of society.

For instance

, not only modern medicine is expensive, but

also

certain new drugs and diagnostic procedures are very costly. Certain affluent

people

who developed cancer took treatment with a special kind of ingredient which was very expensive but had fewer side effects compared to conventional chemotherapy. Rich

people

can access these treatments by spending only a small portion of their income and improve their health. Poor

people

by contrast

, have to spend all of their money on conventional treatments and yet there is no guarantee that their condition will improve. All in all,

although

certain innovations in

technology

decrease the

gap

between the wealthy and the poor while certain developments make more polarized. It is hoped that in the near future all technologies will be available for all residents regardless of their economic status.

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
