It is thought by some it is better to live in a city while others believe that life is better in the countryside. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

#city #life #countryside
While
city
 life has many pros as compared to living in the countryside, one must not neglect the advantages of living in a suburb. In my view, both the places have their own benefits but staying in an urbanised area is far more advantageous.
Firstly
, if we consider being in a busy
city
 like Mumbai or a newyork. There are multiple opportunities to make our activity better day by day. Every human's basic needs are food, clothing and shelter. Here citizens have close proximity to industries, retail stores, schools etc.
This
 will help a settler to communicate and commute well in a busy lifestyle. One gets a chance to find multiple avenues of career options to explore in a metropolitan
city
 when compared to a tier-2
city
. All these factors culminate to provide better growth. On the other side, there are equal cons to living here,
such
 as exposure to pollution, and heavy traffic conditions. It will lead to long-term complications in managing stress and health disorders. Whereas living in a village side opens a plethora of options as people have access to nature close by.
For instance
, consider a suburb where the typical size would range from 30 to 40 families. People here are not required to fight for water or for that matter any basic needs of life. They have access to almost everything for free by mother earth. Imagine a beautiful morning, beside the pond with green paddy fields all around. The amount of positive energy
such
 as the scene would release from the body is incomparable. Of late, even the villages had been provided with electricity and internet facilities which match with a typical citizen working in a busy tier-1
city
. In my opinion, the village lifestyle provides relief to one's mind and soul through the renewable things around.
However
, it is important to stay abreast with the latest happenings in the modern-day world and the only way to keep oneself updated is by living in a good
city
.

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
