Some people say that music is a good way of bringing people of different cultures and ages together. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

#people #music #cultures #ages
It is argued that
music
 contributes to straightening bonds among individuals belonging to various cultures and generations. Even though I agree that
music
 acknowledges neither gender nor age,
however
, I believe that, to some extent, it can
also
 be a source of debates. On the one hand, nobody would deny that
music
 plays an accompanying role between different societies. Comparing with the literature, which can be affordable for the international audience only via translations, the
music
 lacks any language barriers and is acceptable for almost everyone.
Hence
, it is capable to join numerous people who share the same art interest, regardless they are a Muslim or a Christian, a child or an adult.
For example
, during the concerts of world-famous, artist Michael Jackson one could see a varied audience, whose cultural or religious diversity did not disturb to appreciate their favourite singer.
On the other hand
, the more the world and technologies develop, the more immense the generation gap becomes.
This
 fact is likely to regard
music
 taste as well. Nowadays more often than not youngsters give preference to techno
music
.
This
 genre is not assessed as a valuable one from the side of their parents and,
therefore
, may lead to numerous disagreements.
For instance
, during the recent poll at the Yerevan State University, the vast majority of the students insisted that their parents were not happy about their
music
 tastes at all, and that fact influenced negatively their relationship. In conclusion,
music
 is definitely an essential tool for making different humans closer,
however
, sometimes it can represent a debatable issue among different generations.

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
