characteristic, others object to that view and argue that

, can be learned during life. I tend to agree with the
second

view, as from my point of view, not only
people

can learn whatever they want to, but
also

nowadays there is a plethora of courses, books, and training about

skills
Use synonyms
. On the one hand, some

argue that a good leader is a talent some

this

idea because, in the past, the number of resources
for example

was much fewer than nowadays.
Consequently

such

as public speaking, how to motivate others, self-control and so on before receiving the position of manager was difficult and only
individuals

who already had a predisposition of

On the other hand

, other
people

believe that
leadership

skills

are not in a person’s DNA and can be learned through experience, education, and training. Since experience and education prepare

to deal with success or even failure.
This

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
