On one hand, senior

people

undergo various changes within their body and these changes may contribute to a cognitive decline.

Firstly

, The body undergoes various physical and metabolic changes over the decades and

this

leads to many neurological

diseases

like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Dementia. The elderly who may be burdened by

such

diseases

find it difficult to lead a normal life.

For instance

the number of

people

missing in the

last

few years have increased dramatically. The impact of missing elderly persons sometimes leads to mental health issues for other family members and

this

may lead to disruption among the family structure.

Secondly

, there are other musculoskeletal

diseases

like arthritis which may lead to difficulty in movement and would require constant supervision from a family member.

As a result

, a few

people

regard seniority as a burden on their families.

On the other hand

, due to faster recovery time and with the advent of home care facilities it is now possible to treat many

diseases

at home with the help of teleconsultations. A lot of elderly

people

are now embracing technology and are using it to make their lifestyle easier. To cite an example few researchers at Harvard University have come up with a self-driving wheelchair that can navigate in any terrain and can help in easy movement of

people

suffering from Arthritis.

Furthermore

, Virtual reality is now being used in certain geriatric hospitals in the UK to help combat the feeling of loneliness among the elderly. Thereby, technology can be used to improve the quality of life of the elderly. In conclusion, despite few arguments on the ageing population being a burden with the availability of revolutionary technology at their fingertips it is easier than ever to lead a life as a senior citizen.

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

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: Consumers are faced with increasing numbers of advertisements from competing companies. To what extent do you think are consumers influenced by advertisements? What measures can be taken to protect them? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.
Some would say that consumers are loaded by a growing number of commercials from different companies, which produce the same products and services. This essay totally agrees with that statement because advertisers persuade people to buy products and services by emphasizing them as a status symbol and playing on inner fears and insecurities. To avoid being influenced by advertising, focus on needs and mindfulness should be considered.
