Many people believe that the state should protect them from

 there could be some budget drawbacks. On the one hand, general

 prevention requires an enormous amount of money and resources, so private initiatives may not be efficient. Here is when it comes to the government, as it is the wealthiest player in the economy and can afford global programs

 the situation with the

 will go out of hand causing people to feel insecure and resulting in social tension.
On the other hand
, if it was individuals’ responsibility to protect themselves, budget money would be used for more appropriate purposes. In that case, the number of policemen and security agents can be reduced, as maintenance of police consumes a lot of taxes, which could be diverted to the public sector like healthcare and education.

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
