Some people believe that nowadays we have too many choices. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Some people are making a point that people these days are faced with numerous
choices
.
However
, I partly agree with
this
idea for two significant reasons, which will be discussed in detail below.
First
of all, customers have multiple
choices
in several fields, from food to electronics, from daily needs or luxury products, we can decide which to choose.
For example
, technology makes mobile payments universal all over the world. In Taiwan, it is up to 10 types of mobile payments,e.g., Line or Apple Pay.
Secondly
, because there are many
choices
for the public;
thus
those brand will try their best to appeal to customers, including improving their quality or making more promotion activities. In my case, I have currently used five kinds of mobile payments; it is convenient, and
also
I could get any advertisement of activities of the brand immediately.
On the other hand
, there are several obvious factors that I am against in present-day we have so much
choice
since more and more brands come out.
Nevertheless
,
on the other hand
, it seems that we have less
choice
than before;
for example
, time, when I was 14, the shop in Taipei had a distinct type, no matter cloth or jewellery;
however
, in recent years, I found that I lost interest in shopping in a brick-and-mortar store because all the products look like all from China's app(Taobao)
instead
. In conclusion, it has been urged that our societies have
such
an enormous
choice
; I agree it looks like we have much more
choices
than before;
however
, we have less
choice
than before practically.

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
