Band 7

When a country develops its technology, the traditional skills and ways of life die out. It is pointless to try and keep them alive. To what extent you agree or disagree with the statement? You should use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your argument with examples and relevant evidence.

In the modern era, the world is moving fast with the development of technology. A majority of society favours traditional skills taken by technological advancements while others reject
this
 notion. There is no idea of doubt that we are losing out on our traditional skills. The below paragraph would highlight my perspective which will lead to a logical conclusion.
Firstly
, after analyzing the statement, my
first
 and foremost reason is that we are losing an in-person interaction. We use digital devices to keep in touch with our family and friends.
However
, we fail to express emotion and have fun as a group.
For instance
, When I was young, at least once a year my family would meet and plan activities and share the cuisine and knowledge that we lost after our life advanced into digitalization.
Also
, we forget to teach traditional values to our younger generation.
Secondly
, we are losing our traditional method of preparing meals. With modern devices, cuisine preparation is much easier and
thus
 risks people's life.
For example
, in earlier days we need to wait for a minimum of 6 to 8 months to farm the rice.
However
, with modern technologies, it is possible to grow within 3 months.
In addition
 to that, we all forget the traditional way of food preparation which is healthy. To recapitulate, I reiterate that there are numerous strong points to prove that technology growth disrupts people from following traditional methods due to its simplicity which is not good in certain aspects as it could risk people's life to a certain extent.

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
