More and more people are shifting to cities from countryside. Does this have more advantages than disadvantages?

Living in a big city has become very challenging.
Therefore
, in the
last
decades, a major change has occurred in living habits as people tend to switch their residencies from
cities
to the
countryside
.
This
essay aims to explain why there are more advantages than disadvantages.
First
and foremost, all the
cities
are experiencing major social and economic changes. Due to the city extension and overpopulation, many people have moved to the
countryside
to find their inner peace.
For instance
,
besides
overcrowding and small apartments, the properties are larger and cheaper.
Also
, many people report that their general health has improved while living on the peripheries, as the air is less contaminated and there is less noise.
However
, living in a remote place can deprive you of extending your social circle and consumption of the cultural capital.
Cities
are cradles of different societies and cultures.
For instance
, when you move to the
countryside
unless you own your vehicle, you are highly dependent on local transport, which is not as common as it is in the big
cities
.
Also
, commuting takes longer and could be exhausting.
Nevertheless
, as
cities
are expanding, the issue regarded to transport services is improving. Overall, shifting to the
countryside
has more advantages in terms of general health.
Also
, in the past decades due to the improvement strategies the villages have changed and they will continue to change.
Also
, the trend of overcrowding the villages will continue in the future.

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
