some people say that modern innovations bring a lot more problems than benefits? Do you agree or disagree?

Technology
 is developing at a fast pace. Despite the fact that modern
technology
 has created environmental and social problems, I believe that the convenience and even the safety it has brought to human
lives
 far outweigh its disadvantages. In

 essay, I will elaborate on my view. On the one hand, the

 the internet which is believed to have revolutionized our

For instance
, people can now purchase goods with a few taps on their mobile screen. The process is made fast and efficient by eliminating the time used in travelling to physical shops.
Likewise
, innovations in transportation

. Vaccines,
for example
, are a miracle of science that saved millions of children from the clutches of life.
On the other hand
, the demerits of modern inventions can be many.
Firstly
, the rapid development of

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
