Some people think that children should obey rules or do what their parents and teachers want them to do, but others think that children controlled too much cannot deal with problems well by themselves. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Parenting and guiding
children
 for their better future are quite complex tasks and people have different opinions on parenting styles. Some opine that
children
 should always obey the
rules
 imposed by the
parents
 and should follow

On the contrary
, another group of thought says that
children
 should be given some freedom and too much stringency from
parents
 and
teachers
 could actually ruin their
life

 instruction.
However

Similarly
, there are many other
rules
 that our

 wanted us to obey only because they were good
rules
 and we, as
children
, had little idea about the negative consequences of disobeying them. Another example is the
time
 when I wanted to watch cartoons on TV in the evening but my
parents
 wanted me to go out and play some sorts of sports with other kids. At that
time
 it was quite an abhorrent activity for me but now I can realise how

Thus

 and

 are meant to dominate the
children
 but to actually help them grow properly.
On the contrary
, it is quite hard to believe but actually true that many
parents

 by being overprotective and being abusive. If a father beat a
child
 for silly reasons and a mother constantly follows and investigates what her teenage

 is doing, that will surely have a negative consequence.

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
