Some people believe that social media should be considered as a reliable provider of information, while others argue that social media is the main source of false news and disinformation. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some
people
believe that social
media
should be considered as a reliable provider of
information
, while others argue that social
media
is the main source of false
news
and disinformation. I support the latter
view
and I will explain the reasons for that in my essay. There are some
people
who believe that we can get all
news
from social
media
in an unbiased and veracious form. They argue that
unlike

As a result

However

, I believe that we cannot rely on social

as it often spreads fake

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
