Cultures

play a very important role in our lives. It is said that with the development of

technology

the traditional

cultures

will be lost as both traditional

cultures

and

technology

do not go hand in hand. In

this

essay, we will discuss the reasons for

this

opinion and I will give my opinion about the same. With the growth of

technology

and the ocean of information available on the internet,

people

have started looking for logic before following traditional cultural practices. Superstitious practices have stopped due to growing awareness among the

people

Technology

has eased our lives so much that most of the cultural practices that were followed in the past at the time of marriages, if of no relevance now.

For instance

, in India, earlier, when a girl used to get married and move to her husbands' place, her parents gave her enough money and gold for her security as back

then

meeting and communicating was not easy,

however

now with the

technology

available

this

custom need not be followed.

Therefore

, many educated and learned families do not follow

this

culture anymore.

On the other hand

, with the growth of

technology

and the availability of information about the life of

people

all around the world, on social media like Facebook, Instagram, youtube, more and more

people

are getting fascinated by western culture.

Also

, due to the significant influence of the glamour industry on

people

, they try to imitate them and celebrate festivals and follow traditions like they do.

For instance

, in India, all festivals have spiritual reasons, and in the past,

people

prayed, met friends and families, shared sweets and good wishes.

On the contrary

, now festivals are celebrated in two ways either by going on exotic holidays or by partying with friends and families. To cut long story short, I completely assent with the view that

technology

and traditional culture can be in harmony and the

cultures

will be a by-gone as

technology

keeps on developing.

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

In many countries nowadays, consumers can go to a supermarket and buy food produced all over the world. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?
In recent decades, by the rise of various more facillated transportation methods, such as modern shipping, people can easily buy products which are produced in other parts of the world from any supermarket. This trend raises an important question: does this development come with advantages or disadvantages? From my viewpoint, generally, it can carry several advantages which will be discussed in this essay.

Some university students want to learn about other subjects in addition to their main subjects. Others believe it is more important to give all their time and attention to studying for a qualification. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion
In the present era, university education offers students the opportunity to pursue many fields of study in addition to their primary disciplines. Many people believe that dedicating time to studying for a qualification is the most efficient method. Nevertheless, I vehemently oppose that perspective as I believe that the most optimal approach to enhance the efficacy of one's study is to integrate both the primary subjects and supplementary disciplines or essential proficiencies.

Nowadays a growing number of people with health problems trying alternative medicine and treatments instead of visiting their usual doctors. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?
In this modern world, it is becoming prevalent to rely on the internet or non-expert’s opinions for treating at home. With the advance of technology, people have access to widely uploaded information and can use them as remedies. Although, this alteration in an individual’s behaviour can be useful in terms of minor illnesses, may lead to catastrophic outcomes in case of a serious disease.
