News stories on TV and in newspapers are very often accompanied by pictures. Some people say that these pictures are more effective than words. What is your opinion about this?

As the technology advanced articles in newspapers and stories in television are often presented to us with the help of
photos
. Some individuals state that
this
way of delivering a news story is way more effective than just with words. I both agree and disagree with
this
point of view. Even though the true scale of the situation can be seen through
photos
but some content is
also
shown which may not be very pleasing to the eye.
Photos
can say a lot about the situation of the scene and give us the power to imagine how big the scale is.
For instance
, there is a huge difference between just saying “Around 10,000 people attended the concert” and showing the
audience
the picture of the concert. Even though

they may not be able to feel the chills just by seeing the crowd through the photograph but they can imagine the energy in everyone
that is
present at the concert in real life.
This
may encourage the
audience
to find out new passions in their life.
Although
, showing the grand scheme of things is good but sometimes content
that is
not pleasing to the eye is
also
shown in newspapers and television.
For instance
, showing the images of terrorist attack disturb the mental health of the
audience
especially children.
This
can have a huge impact on their behaviour in the future. Without proper

some even might get influenced by
such
kinds of pictures in their head and may choose the wrong path. To sum things up even though
photos
are more efficient in conveying the message to the
audience
if not displayed properly
this
may have a bad effect on some.
This
can be avoided by having a board to discuss things up before posting anything.

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
