In the age of technology,

, it is one of the most controversial issues in our society. According to my opinion,
this
 phenomenon has both advantages and disadvantages but the drawbacks are more important. On the one hand,broadening your
life
 will bring you a lot of benefits.
Firstly
 you are able to enjoy many interesting things in the world.
For example
,you can travel to many attractive places and join activities
such
 as doing charity, visiting monuments in
this
 destination and so on. It will make you relax and become more optimistic.
Secondly
, you can

On the other hand
,the rise

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
