Living in a country where you have to speak a foreign language can cause serious social problems, as well as practical problems.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

#country #language
In the concurrent world, people can have lots of chances to go abroad
such
 as studying or working. When you live in another country, especially in a foreign nation, you definitely will meet some social and other problems.
This
 essay is going to discuss the issues that may happen and my own opinions.
Firstly
, since you are going to a different country, you must speak the local language.
However
, you may not learn it really well.
As a result
, the public may not exactly know what messages you want to deliver, and it sometimes may lead to misunderstanding.
Further
, even if you have already learnt it, you are still afraid of using it.
For example
, people in Taiwan learn English since they were little.
In addition
, you may consider that Taiwanese obviously can speak English very well.
On the contrary
, more than 60%of them cannot utilize it well. What’s more, since you move to a transocean city, you need friends to cope with some accidents or helpers to give you a hand.
Although
 you may not be able to communicate precisely, the folk may not concern that matters. Research had been found that most people trust strangers for the
first
 time.
Furthermore
, the community can cultivate oral skills since the environment forced them. When you are there, you cannot use your original one to talk. Eventually, you can practice it. Overall, I think that the cons are more than pons when living in a country where you must utilize another language. It does have a few drawbacks
such
 as communication. Yet, these downsides can actually be overcome.

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
