Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programmes (For example working for a charity, improving the neighbourhood or teaching sports to younger children). To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There are few people who feel that academic studies should be focused on improving professional skills as they are crucial, in order to have a bright future. Others,
however
, believe that we should
also
 perform our responsibilities
such
 as helping the needy people, making donations, or even educating the poor kids who can not afford their tuition fees. I completely agree with the latter statement and in
this
 essay, I will support my view with examples. One of the major advantages of participating in extracurricular
activities
 is building your personality. While searching for a job, a candidate's personality plays a crucial role in securing a role. If a job seeker's resume is filled with co-curriculum
activities
then
 they have higher chances of being suitable for the requirement as compared to the other applicants.
Moreover
, being responsible citizens, it is our duty to contribute our knowledge and wealth to society. One
such
 example is teaching the kids who are from a poor background as
this
 will help the world to educate and decrease illiteracy and we can work for an NGO or make donations for many helpless people.
For example
, there are many organizations that assist communities during natural disasters. Whoever, while doing
this
 we are spreading positivity into the world and setting examples for the new generation.
On the other hand
, we can not negate the negative aspects of including
such
 tasks. While fulfilling other duties, a teenager might get distracted from his goals and start investing his valuable time in these
activities
. Being high school students, we are already surrounded by assignments, exams, and interviews. In
such
 a scenario, they should utilize their energy in the right sources.
Additionally
, many advise that these
activities
 should be considered as optional work and should be given less importance. In recent years, it has been proven that those who do score good marks in their academics are less involved in extra-curriculums. In conclusion, I strongly think that these unpaid community services should be an optional subject of high school studies, to allow school kids to focus their studies.

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
