Band 7

Some people feel that young people should follow the traditions of their society. Others, however, believe that young people should be free to behave as individuals. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

#people #traditions #society #individuals
In
this
 day and age, more and more contemporary attention has been placed on the opinion that youngsters are advised to adhere to the
traditions
 of their
society
.
However
, others argue that the young
generation
 is liberty at behaving as individuals. From my perspective, I subscribe to the latter idea. On the one hand, not all
traditions
 are suitable for young people’s personalities, thoughts and behaviours, leading to the fact that it will prove challenging for the young
ones
 to follow those
ones
.
For example
, my countryside has a
tradition
 that people are not allowed to marry others being the same age but nowadays, the young
ones
 have refused to obey
this
tradition
 and are willing to marry any people having the same age.
In addition
,
although
 some
traditions
 are inappropriate for the development of
society
, they are still common in some places and in
this
 case, if the young
generation
 follows them, it will not beneficial to them.
For instance
, there is a
tradition
 in Vietnam that fathers shoulder the responsibility for making money while mothers have to stay at home to do housework and rear their offspring. Undoubtedly, currently, no one accepts
this
tradition
, especially for female teenagers.
Therefore
, it is virtually impossible for the young
generation
 to adhere to
this
tradition
.
On the other hand
, it is crucially important to obey the
traditions
 of
society
, particularly for the young
generation
 since
this
 is the best solution to preserve those
traditions
. To be more specific, they reflect the national identity of a country, so traditional preservation is necessary.
Therefore
, only when people, especially the young
ones
 value and appreciate those
traditions
, they will be less likely to fade away in the future and
as a result
, the national identity of a country will
also
 have a low possibility of disappearing. In conclusion, with all the reasons mentioned above, I strongly believe that it is better for youngsters having the freedom to behave as individuals in lieu of following the
traditions
 of their
society
.

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
