Many museums charge for admission while others are free. Do you think the advantages of charging people for admission to museums outweigh the disadvantages?

Many
museums
 require an entrance fee, while others do not. I believe the advantage of
this
 fee far outweighs its disadvantage because, without it, many
museums
 wouldn’t be able to protect their collections well. On the one hand, entrance fees may discourage people from visiting.
For instance
, in China, all public
museums
 are free to Chinese citizens. So, low-income families who cannot afford places,
such
 as parks and movie theatres, often take their children to
museums
 to spend their weekends. They may stop visiting them if they have to pay for the entry.
However
, according to my observation, most of them go there not go to see the
museums
 but to enjoy the free air-conditioning. They create noise and overcrowd
museums
.
Therefore
, I think a reduction in visitor numbers would not be a bad thing.
On the other hand
, when they are charging for the entryway that allows the foundation to better protect their collections. Due to climate change, nowadays many natural disasters are happening more and more frequently. By charging for access,
museums
 can afford to use high-tech methods to minimize the impact of these disasters.
For instance
, with revenue from entry charges, the red fort Museum was able to build an up-to-date the all the damage caused in the fort. I think
this
 is a great advantage for
museums
 because some of their works are masterpieces from the past. Keeping them in good condition is important for our cultural heritage. In conclusion,
although
 a paid entry model may deter visitors, I believe
this
 disadvantage is greatly outweighed by the advantage that the money raised helps to fund the upkeep of
museums
' collections.

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
