In recent years, many
people
 have been willing to learn a foreign
language
. Some populations believe that
people
study
 a foreign
language
 in order to
work
 or for similar reasons, and others have the opposite view. In my opinion, Most
people
 learn a new
language
 to reach their aims,
such
 as studying and
work
 even making friends. On the one hand, A group of individuals justifiably argue that the only reason that can lead to learning a new
language
 is preparation for travel or
work
.
In other words
, an employee who wants to get a promotion should try to raise their
language
 levels. In my personal experience, when I wanted to move to Italy to
study
, I started to
study
 the Italian
language
.
Thus
, I had a
study
 reason to learn new languages.
On the other hand
, some
people
 claim that learning a foreign
language
 does not need to have a purpose like
work
 or
study
. From a medical viewpoint, learning a new
language
 can avoid mental problems
such
 as Alzheimer's disease.
For instance
, learning a new
language
, like learning a new skill, can help to protect mental health.
Moreover
, A vast number of
people
 who
study
 new languages would broaden their horizons.
Furthermore
,
people
 would learn about new cultures by studying a new
language
.
However
, I do not find
this
 argument convincing as reasons like
study
, or
work
 can encourage
people
 to learn a new
language
.
For example
, when an employee needs to
work
 with a foreign community which have to learn a foreign
language
.
To conclude
, I believe
people
 who have a reason are only going to learn a new
language
 because they do not use another
language
 in their daily life.

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
