In modern society, the passive lifestyle reached its peak popularity. There are various reasons for that.
For instance
, long work hours at sedentary jobs and addiction to technologies,
such
 as smartphones and TV.
As a result
, many believe that mandatory exercises thrice a week must be introduced in educational establishments, including both schools and universities. And
while
 I do agree that people should be more physically active, I am opposed to the idea of doing it forcefully.
To begin

TV or play a video game in their spare time, rather than spending it outside playing with peers or merely taking a walk. Consequences of
such
 decisions include obesity and related illnesses.
Thus

However
, I strongly disagree that exercising must be obligatory
due to
 the following reasons. First and foremost, making anything compulsory decreases pupils’ and students’ interest in participating in it.
As it

 is accepted that young people see

 actions as a limitation of their free will.
Hence
, their motivation plunges.
Secondly
, during the PE lessons, teachers compare students’ accomplishments to each other, rather than comparing their results individually. Being set against others, who might have better physical training background, could negatively affect an individual’s self-confidence and lead to mental disorders,
such
 as stress, depression and body dysphoria. In the final analysis, I believe that being physically active is essential in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Although
, I do not agree that PE lessons must be compulsory. From my point of view, exercising and playing sports give better results when individuals themselves show interest in participating.

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
