Some people think that all university students should study whatever they like. Others believe that they should only be allowed to study subjects that will be useful in the future, such as those related to science and technology. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion

There are various attitudes when it comes to whether
students

 are free to study anything
that is
Linking Words
 based on their interests or only to major in some useful
subjects
Use synonyms
.
Although
Linking Words
 some people believe that only certain
subjects
Use synonyms
 should be learned, I would argue that university
students
Use synonyms
 should be given the opportunity to choose what they would like to learn. It is undeniable that some key
subjects
Use synonyms
,
such
Linking Words
 as mathematics, physics and chemistry, are more likely to be beneficial than other
subjects
Use synonyms
, including art and music.
This
Linking Words
 is because those
subjects
Use synonyms
 can equip
students
Use synonyms
 with skill sets that are needed in future high-tech-related occupations.
Therefore
Linking Words
, not only
students
Use synonyms
 will benefit from getting decent and lucrative jobs, the technological and economic growth can
also
Linking Words
 be reached as the development of the whole society can be underpinned by the influx of talent.
However
Linking Words
, if
students
Use synonyms
 cannot choose things they really like, the learning process will become monotonous and boring, which is neither interesting nor appealing. Only when
students
Use synonyms
 can choose their preferred areas of study can they devote both time and vigour and
finally
Linking Words
 become passionate about those fields.
This
Linking Words
 can help those
students
Use synonyms
 to build expertise in their professions and fully achieve their potential.
Moreover
Linking Words
, in
this
Linking Words
 ever-changing society, it is hard to predict which area of knowledge will be the most useful in the future, so making choices based on one’s interest can help him/her to stand out and find a foothold in the competitive labour market no matter what will happen. In conclusion,
while
Linking Words
 it is sensible for universities to focus only on the most useful
subjects
Use synonyms
, I am a supporter of the current system in which people have the right to study whatever they like.

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
