Everyone should stay at school until 18. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is the case that young

 should keep their studies at

 until the

 of 18. I totally agree with

 higher-level qualifications in the future.
In other words
, most of the
people
 under the
age
 of eighteen have very little real-world experience and have very little idea of what career they will pursue. Clearly, staying at
school
 until the
age
 of eighteen will allow them

 opportunity to develop their education and time to decide upon a suitable career path.

Besides

schools
also
 provide moral and social education which is of paramount importance to teenagers. Because

 under 18 do not have the sufficient intellectual capacity to distinguish between right behaviours and wrong ones, they could easily commit crimes if they were not educated well enough. To illustrate, being exposed to the real world at

Furthermore

Coherence and Cohesion
The introduction and conclusion are present, but they can be strengthened by providing a more clear and definitive stance on the topic.
Task Achievement
The essay provides a complete response to the task with clear and comprehensive ideas. However, it would benefit from providing more extensive and relevant specific examples to support the main points.

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
