In recent years, many small local shops have closed because customers travel to large shopping centres or malls to do their shopping.

Small
shops
have closed in recent years as many people prefer to go to malls for their purchases. At first glance at the
situation
, it does not immediately become clear whether
this
is a good development of events or not.
That is
why today we will talk about it in more detail. Here, as in any
situation
, there are two sides. If you look at it as a buyer,
then
in
this
situation
there is nothing strange or special. It is more convenient to go shopping in a shopping
center

, as the choice of products there is much wider, which means there will be more opportunities. True, and here there is a small minus. Shopping

are smaller than small
shops
, especially in small towns.
Therefore
, it may not be wise to travel very far just to arrive at the mall, but it already depends on the person himself. But, if we look at
this
situation
from the point of view of the
store
owner, things are no longer so fun and wonderful. It cannot be denied that in any

it will be a shеme if you tried on your

In addition

obvious that the owners of
such
stores have lost money that they invested in their business. If you ask me personally, I will say that
this
is a rather ambiguous development. I, like many people, like to go to shopping

and it is more convenient for me. So if
this

closes, I'll even be upset. Let's summarize, as I said, the
situation
is ambiguous. Small

in terms of shopping for goods are worse than shopping

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
