People nowadays tend to have children at older ages. Do the advantages of this outweigh the diaadvantages?

In recent times, decisions are taken by some individuals to bear
children
 at maturity. I strongly believe that the demerits outweigh the merits as these can lead to terrible health conditions for the woman around labour
as well as
 stigmatization in our society. These will be

To begin
, having offspring in old age can lead to health complications during birth. As life progresses the human body depreciates, thereby causing loss of function or reductions in the activities of the body.
However
 having
children
 by an aged individual can make the woman come down with severe complications like eclampsia, uterine rupture, fibroid and bleeding during and after partum which can eventually lead to death. All these can be averted if decisions are taken to give birth early.
For example
, about a decade ago, a woman of 44 years had her first pregnancy and

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
