It is more important for schoolchildren to learn about local history than world history. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#schoolchildren #history #world
Whether students should learn the
history
 of their own country or that of other societies in the world has always been a topic of debate. While it is believed that learning national
history
 is of greater importance, I disagree with
this
 perspective. Some people are pro the idea of children learning local
history
 and justifiably so. The key rationale in favour of
this
 view is that being aware of their roots can instil a sense of patriotism in each child.
This
 may foster an appreciation for their national heritage, which means that they are more willing to defend and contribute to their country.
By contrast
, those who lack knowledge about national
history
 may not respect their own traditions. Vietnam perfectly exemplifies
this
 situation. As
history
 education in most schools is sadly lacking. Many young students have grown up with a superficial understanding

 their ancestors' past achievements and sacrifices,
hence
 their indifference to current national affairs.
This
 a testament to the necessity of teaching schoolchildren local
history

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
