People believe that they should be able to keep all the money they earn and should not pay tax to the state. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

 and prefer to keep all the money for themselves? I guess the
state
 might develop very slow or not develop at all.
Secondly
, as all of us might have known that the concept of the
tax
 we paid is by us, from us and for us, which means that the
tax
 we paid will be used by the
government
 to fund the project made for us.
For instance
, to build road, toll, bridge so we have access for our car. Essentially,
such
tax
 will be used to develop the
state
 and for the sake of the citizen themselves. Without
such
 toll, road or bridge we cannot use our car to travel to a remote area.
Thirdly

government
 might not operate well, lack workers or officials. Based on the abovementioned, I do believe that it is our responsibility as the citizen to give return to the
state
 as we have been living in the land of the
state
 by paying the
tax
.
Therefore
, as for now I totally disagree with the idea that people should keep all of the money they earn than paying
tax
. Regardless, I
also
 hope the
government
 could find a formula to be more independent.

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
