 all around the world for thousands of years, creating a cure will change the whole healthcare industry. Not to mention the development of new medical pills as well as specialized machines.
In addition
, with modern genetic technology, we can create cheaper versions of food in order to feed
people
 in need. There is always a part of the world full of poverty and hunger and a solution must be achieved as soon as possible to save their lives.
For instance
, artificial food has been in progress in recent years with tons of new ways to create edible food without growing or killing any living creature. The greatest drawback of genetic engineering is that It will seriously divide the world into 2 sides, the rich and the poor . In our generation, technology is the main thing that will decide the future of our kind and not everyone has the ability to afford it.

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
