People of twenty-first century have better quality of life compared to those who lived in the previous centuries. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

#people #century #quality #life #centuries
Although
such
 topics, in all likelihood, never yield a consensual agreement, a constructive dialogue on whether
people
 of the 21st century reap the benefits of better quality,
in contrast
 to their ancestors whose lives can be traced back in time can lead to thought-provoking discussions. My view is that irrespective of the numerous arguments that exist on either side, I partially agree with
this
 development as it contains its own inherent merits and demerits that cannot be ignored at any cost. There are several reasons to support
this
 idea. The most predominant one is that it has made
people
's lives better, in terms of high living standards
due to
 the high disposable income retained.
For example
, the appreciation of exchange rates and low inflation levels will enable
people
 to spend on overrated branded or luxury items rather spend on common basic necessities.
Besides
, it leads to a wide array of benefits in almost every sphere of life. Human evolution together in a tech-savvy era generates a potential tendency in humans to solve analytical problems and other crucial critical skills related to computer software functioning
such
 as artificial intelligence.
Therefore
, the aforementioned discussion constructively justifies my stance.
Conversely
, an increasingly significant pitfall of
this
 proposition is that it has made
people
's lives worse than ever.
This
 is mainly
due to
 the fact that
people
 are only obsessed with having a better quality of life but
instead
 have less concern about developing healthy habits.
People
 who lived in previous centuries were consuming nutritional diet on a daily basis, mostly vegan and fruits with no additives or chemicals,
whereas
 the current generation is more likely to suffer from many prolonged health issues
such
 as obesity, heart attack and diabetics
due to
 maintaining unhealthy intakes
such
 as junk food and instant noodle packs.
In addition
 to
this
, currently, there is a lack of enthusiasm exist in physical sports among youngsters as many tend to play video games online
instead
 of engaging in sports activities
such
 as swimming, horse riding and gymnastics which offer manifold benefits to our health and immunity system. The effect is disastrous on health and well-being and the lack of attention paid by individuals to these effects, is another tragedy recurring in our current society. From what has been discussed above, it can unarguably be concluded
people
 who lived
then
 had high life expectancy rates than many who are living now.

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
