The growth of online shopping will one day lead to the closure of shopping stores in cities. Do you agree or disagree with this?

#growth #closure #stores #cities
With the increasing use of the internet, online shopping has become extremely popular amongst
people
. Many argue that online shopping will take over the industry and lead to the shutting down of all the local shops. In my opinion, the local stores can never completely go out of trend.
This
 essay will talk about the challenges involved with buying online and how offline shopping benefits
people
. Online shopping is tempting and convenient but it comes with many challenges, one of which is the waiting period. Sometimes
people
 want things urgently
for example
, for an event at the office the
next
 day or a party that they were not planning to attend before. In
such
 cases, customers want solutions immediately and local stores serve the purpose best because they have a variety of products and the convenience of providing the
product
 at the time when it is needed. The other problem associated with shopping online is receiving a faulty
product
, a lot of times it happens that the
product
 received is either damaged or completely different from what was described,
then
 to get the resolution customer has to reach out to the customer service department and
then
 return back the
product
.
People
 like to stay away from
such
 hassles as it is very annoying.
In contrast
 to online shopping, buying things from the stores is much easier and more convenient. There is no waiting period involved, you can choose the
product
 yourself so there is no possibility of getting an incorrect or damaged item.
In addition
 to these benefits, some products like vegetables and fruits are best when purchased offline. Overall, online shopping could look fancy but it can never completely replace offline shopping because of the numerous benefits they provide including customer satisfaction.

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
