Many governments spend a lot of money on art. Some people think this investment in art is necessary, but others say the money is better spent on improving health and education. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Art
has been a social indicator of any civilization and played a significant role to understand mankind's history. Rulers have used
art
for their propaganda to extend their reach and show their authority and one may see statues of confederate generals in the streets of the Southern states of America.
Thus
, the government deem fit to invest in
art
as a medium to conserve their history for future generations to come. Meanwhile, the Black Americans object to the spending done on preservations of
art
relating to the confederacy government active during the civil war of America. Their viewpoints are subjective, as the Confederates were pro-slavery and argued that a better part of

funding can be diverted to improving healthcare and education sectors. I am personally inclined that the policymaker should improve the state's Human Resources department which is already underfunded. For centuries, Rome, Italy and Greece have been known for their architecture and

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
