, one of the main causes for the aloneness in old people is the lack of like-minded folk for them to spend time with. Usually, there is an age gap when the aged want to talk to members at home.

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

One long-distance flight consumes fuel which a car uses in several years’ time, but they cause the same amount of pollution. So same people think that we should discourage non-essential flights, such as tourist travel, rather than to limit the use of cars. TASK: To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Despite the fact that fuel emissions from the car and flight are the same, vehicles consume five times less gases than aeroplanes, and to solve this problem the government proposes cancelling unnecessary flight such as a tourist trip rather than restricting the use of cars. I personally disagree with this statement as it will cause great resentment among people as well as it is not the biggest dilemma nowadays.

As a social being, human is provided with numbers of opportunities in life. Some people believed that the provided options are sometimes too many, that make ambiguity in the paths they have choosen. However, I personally disagree with the notion. I believe that a person deserves to have as many choices as possible to ensure his flexibility in life, especially with some challenges from the technology innovation.

In many countries, more and more people choose to buy imported food rather than food produced locally. Why people buy imported food? What can be done to encourage people to buy local food?
In the present day, an increasing number of local residents have the urge to prefer foreign countries' food over native cuisine, due to the geological and atmospheric conditions which are needed to farm certain fruits. However, this can be addressed by imposing higher taxes to make foreign nations' food bear a higher price.
