Write a 250-word essay for the topic: Some people think that advertisements aimed at children should be banned. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There are widely differing views on the issue of whether many
advertisements
are targeted at
children
. I totally agree with the notion of
this
opinion and there are two principal reasons for
this
One point that I believe to be pivotal is the indisputable fact that watching unsuitable
advertisements
might do harm to
children
's health.
This
is because
children
are very naive and easy to mimic what adults do. When they watch many
advertisements
about beer or addictive things,
this
simulates their curiosity and
thus
they mimic what they saw.
As a result

This

of my optimism about

.
This
means that many toy companies exploit their inability to make rational choices.
As a result
, marketing and media targeted at
children
will lead to them pleading with their caretakers. Countless real-life examples have shown that
children
might buy legos that are advertised on TV, and
then
they often get bored as soon as they recognize what they have bought is unlike what they saw in the advertisement. For these reasons, I think that exploiting
children
's naivety for business purposes could be judged to be unethical. In conclusion, I completely agree with the idea that a ban should be imposed on
advertisements
aimed at
children
given the aforementioned reasons.

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
