These days, many people have their own computer and telephone, so it is quite easy for them to do their job at home. Does working at home have more advantages or more disadvantages?

With the rapid development of science and technology, the possession of digital devices like

However
, there are still debates on whether working at

really gives us more spare

or restricts our lives. In
this
essay, I will argue that working at
home
is not as good as we may imagine. In the beginning, let us think of the benefits of working at
home
. One of the most popular reasons

can save much

Thus
, working at
home
can help with that and enable workers to sleep better and start to
work
without morning hustling.
Secondly
, working at
home
may make our
time
more flexible because we can manage
work
schedules ourselves.
Therefore
, working at
home
may give us more available
time
and do to what we like.
On the contrary
, working at

is not as attractive as it sounds.

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
