 phenomenon and what it is leading to. A few factors are behind these tremendous shifts.
To begin
 with, it is easy for the young to get a decent job and feed themselves with the economy flourishing, and
therefore
 there is no need to live with their parents or even grandparents to gain financial supports. Another vital reason may be the migration among citizens becoming more frequent due to the development of cutting-edged transportation
such
 as high-speed railway and modern cities. Moving to another city or even country becomes a nutshell, so it seems unnecessary to do everything with ranges of family members.

As to what stems from the transformation of family form, there are various views.

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
