Band 5

Living in a country where you have to speak a foreign language can cause serious social problems, as well as practical problems.

#country #language
Some
people
 believe that it will lead to serious social
problems
 including practical ones when someone lives in a country in which he must to speak the local official
language
that is
 different to his mother tongue. I agree with
this
 opinion to some extent, since I am sure that it will cause certain social or practical
problems
 but will extremely unlikely cause a serious one.
To begin
 with, it seems to me that there are three main reasons that can contribute to some
problems
.
Firstly
, due to the imperfect

 skill, misunderstandings may emerge between native

 and

Secondly
, even if the tourist can speak as native

, the great gap of cultures is still impossible to entirely fill up.
This
 gap is another reason

Finally
, bad men exist in every corner of the world, and it is those
people
 that are good at utilising

 to make conflicts. Indeed, those

 can trigger conflicts anywhere using any excuse.
Language
 does not matter actually in
this
 situation.
However

 and they understand those cultural differences.
In addition
, those tourists are very modest abroad, so that they will not sharpen contradictions when they meet terrible things in general. And
finally
, those
problems
 which are caused by
language
 are easy to deal with after they understand what they expressed

 each other. In conclusion, I insist that those serious
problems
 which are caused by
language
 will not happen in most cases.

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
