It is important for people to take risks, both in their personal lives and professional lives. Do you think the advantages of taking risk outweigh the disadvantages

#people #risks #lives #risk
It is important for people to make risky decisions both in their work lives and in their private lives. Albeit it creates problems like a financial crisis in the short term, it
also
 helps in opening the doors of new opportunities and I believe
this
 advantage far outweighs any potential disadvantage. On the one hand, taking risks might develop a situation of a financial crisis for a small period of time.
For instance
, a teen enjoying the perks of pocket money received from his parents might find it difficult to adjust to the situation of cutting off that source of payment and hustling to earn his own money. He might experience discomfort and a shortage of money for some time.
This
 is
also
 true of switching careers and surviving in a low salary package.
However
, I think that these problems are not long-lasting. People emerge from
such
 circumstances after a small interval.
On the other hand
, risks open the door to new possibilities.
For example
, my workmate who resigned from her job and pursued an MBA course from London Univesity is now holding a CEO position in a new startup company. Had she not taken the risk of quitting her job and studying
further
, she would have been working in the same job and would not have been able to enter a new venture in her career and to raising her standard of living by earning a handsome salary. I believe that opportunities like these are extremely important since they can prove to be life-changing. In conclusion,
although
 taking risks may make someone face problems like a monetary loss in the short term, I believe
this
 negative side is greatly outweighed by the positive side that the uncertainty people take can create life-turning possibilities for them.

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
