Many people put their personal information online (address, telephone number,...) for everyday activities such as socializing on social networks or banking purposes. Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

People are increasingly sharing their personal
information
 on the internet these days.
Although
this
 technique may improve user experience, I believe that it is a harmful trend since individuals would be more exposed to cyber-crime. On the one hand, updating personal
information
 online allows internet buyers to have a better experience. Consumers can make more comfortable online purchases by linking personal
information
 with unique accounts.
This
 is demonstrated when customers purchase on e-commerce platforms like Shopee or Lazada. Customers may avoid the time-consuming data submission and proceed directly to the final stage of making a transaction because their identification
information
 has already been linked with their sign-in accounts during the first registration.
As a result
, the purchasing process is sped up, resulting in a more pleasant client experience.
On the other hand
, posting personal
information
 on the Internet exposes
users
 to the risk of illegal activity. Private

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
