Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programmes (for example working for a charity, improving the neighbourhood or teaching sports to younger children). To what extent do you agree or disagree?

At the present time, there are lots of beliefs that pupils should do more
volunteer
work
 and these
volunteer
 works need to be put in the high school curriculum. I totally agree with
this
 statement because it will help children be more responsible, improve their interpersonal skills and improve the environment where they are living too.
Firstly
, I am completely supporting the idea that: becoming a
volunteer
 is responsible to society. Imagine that in the vacation, some groups of youth
work
 for a charitable organisation which helps the old people, the sick or the disabled. Other groups cleaning and decorating streets or public playgrounds which will lead to a modern, happy and loving community.
For example
, there is a charitable organisation in my city. Every Saturday, they clean the streets, water the plants and help old people. It is very kind of them.
Secondly
, doing
volunteer
work
 will help children improve interpersonal skills because they have to do teamwork. Communicate skill is one of most important interpersonal skills. If they are good at communicating, they will do their job faster.
Furthermore
, learning how to
work
 in a team will help children do many jobs too. Example: improve their neighbourhood. To improve the neighbourhood, they will need a lot of people to
work
 because it has many processes. In conclusion, I strongly agree that social unpaid
work
 should be a compulsory part of high school programmes by

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
