technology
has brought us more pros than cons.
To begin

technology
has made our life much easier and more convenient.
For instance
small things
such
as washing the dishes in the past used to take effort and time from us but thanks to the advanced

that created useful tools
such
as the dishwasher which helped us save time and effort.
Moreover

showed that the amount of obesity in children between the age of 7 to 12 have dramatically increased compared to 20 years ago and the main reason for

is that these youngsters are spending more time playing video games rather than playing outside with others. To sum up,

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
