domestic manufacturers. Opening the doors of local markets to the

allows us to experience the different

manufactured globally. Some of these could be technologically advanced or scientifically superior and others made naturally.
Such
products
might not be available in our country as maybe we do not have the requisite technology, resources or knowledge even.

we hardly have any Indian car or mobile phone manufacturers. The market is flooded with either Chinese or Japanese

This
has caused international car and mobile phone manufacturers to be at top of the table while the Indian companies come after that. Resorting to global trade has lead to many international

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
