Some people say modern children's games do not develop a wide range of skills, while traditional games can be much better for developing such skills. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The phenomenon of traditional
games
and modern
children
's
games
of which one would benefit the most to the developing kids. Divergent as
people
's views on
this
issue in question may be, I totally agree that parents should encourage
children
to play more traditional
games
. Of all the reasons why old
games
are better than new
games
, probably the most significant one is that modern
games
have a fatal issue which is most of them are electric
games
.
Therefore
, if
children
play it for a long period of
time
, it will affect the eyes' function. To illustrate, mobile
games
are common entertainment these days,and a lot of younger
people
wear glasses because they spend too much
time
on their mobile phones.
Although
modern
children
's
games
may help in the development of the mind, their damage to our eyes should not be underestimated. Another reason that should not be overlooked is that some traditional
games
have physical exercise and face-to-face communication with peers which means
children
can train their minds and train their bodies and the same
time
. It
also
would be a great opportunity for them to practice their teamwork skill.
For example
, directional tracking is an all-rounding game that requires
people
to form a group and formulate strategies,
then
find all the targets in the lowest spending
time
.
As a result
,
such
games
are more beneficial to young
people
. Under
this
line of thinking,
although
modern
games
can train
children
's minds well, their side effect outweighed their advantage. So, I believe that traditional
games
are more healthy to achieve development purposes.

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
