Music is known as a form of entertainment for many people.
Nevertheless
, it can
also
 be something special and different for others. In my opinion, I believe that for each individual, the definition of melodies depends on their circumstances, likes, or dislikes. Undoubtedly, many individuals describe music as something extremely important in their lives. Songs can reduce one’s level of anxiety and depression by expressing their emotions and thoughts which cannot be explained in words through singing or playing instruments. It can
also
 work as a way to block all the noise around us, which can help us focus better on what we are doing.
This
 is something that I usually do when I have my phone.
In addition
, it can
also
 bring people together and make them closer.
For example
, my class once had to perform on stage in front of a big audience. During our rehearsals, my grade had to interact a lot as a group.
As a result
, we became close and united.
On the other hand
, some individuals define it as just a way to entertain themselves. They only listen to melodies when they are bored. Songs are not as meaningful to them, as they have different things that they would prefer to do. For these people, beautiful sounds are dispensable in their lifetime.
For example
, a boy who really likes swimming will prefer to do what he loves
instead
 of just simply listening to melodies. He will only listen to songs when he is truly bored. In conclusion, everyone has different tastes, so the meaning of activity will change according to what they like; the same works for music.

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
