It is often believed by some that human beings are now living in the greatest time of history.
Although
 there were many interesting lifestyles of people in the past, I personally agree with
this
 opinion. In
this
 essay, I will elaborate more on
this
 in detail.
To begin
 with, people are able to use their time efficiently with the development of technology in
this
 modern world.
Firstly
, thanks to the internet, it makes it easy to communicate with each other instantly. To give a clear example, unlike writing and sending letters, folks are now able to send email or text messages that are delivered in a few seconds.
In addition
 to that, many types of machines are available to do household chores
such
 as a laundry machine, a vacuum, a dishwasher and so on. As a consequence, people are now able to spend more time for leisure or some other activities
instead
 of doing errands all day.
On the other hand
, there must have been some fascinating era to live in the past. As some individuals in the contemporary world are struggling due to the high pressure of rapid technological growth, life without technology may
also
 be ideal for humans. Take an example, Jyomon-era in Japan which was over a thousand years ago, was the day citizens were starting to cultivate and beginning to form a society. Everyone did their part in the community starting early morning to sunset. It was the basic lifestyle of homosapiens and good enough to live. To conclude,
although
 there were many interesting lifestyles in the past, in my opinion, I believe our life is with technology had never been better in the contemporary world.

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
