Some people think that men are naturally more competitive than women. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

#people #men #women
The idea of whether
men
 or
women
 tend to possess certain predispositions to become more competitive is a matter of ongoing debate regarding gender differences. Personally, I am more inclined to believe that
although
 there are some
women
 who are willing to compete in their personal pursuits, competitiveness is predominantly a male trait. To commence with, it has long been known the traditional image of differences between
men
 and
women
. Since prehistoric, our ancestors had to hunt and care for their families in order to survive, which highlighted what differentiates
men
 from
women
.Namely,
men
 tend to be associated with physical strength while
women
 are more sensitive and should be taken care of.
Although
this
 image results from gender stereotyping, there are certain professions or sectors which might attract the male audience. It can be seen in the example of sports where the willingness to compete against each other is a natural element and certain sports disciplines which are male-dominated, followed by
minority
Add an article
a minority
show examples
 of their female counterparts. Another line of argument is that
women
 tend to be more family-orientated with predispositions to start a family and have offspring
hence
 they might see those things as an obstacle to achieving their personal goals.
This
 is particularly visible in the workplace.
For example
, some researchers claim that more
women
 tend to show their competitive capabilities in order to be promoted before they decide to have offspring,
otherwise
 they might no longer be interested due to changes in their priorities. To recapitulate,
although
 the willingness to compete is common for both genders,
men
 tend to be more focused on competing due to their psychological and genetic predispositions.

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
