More and more fathers are taking a break from their careers so that they can stay home and take care of their children while their wives work. This is better for the family than having both parents work full time. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Many fathers give up their jobs in order to take care of their homes and families, but I don't agree that
this
is the best choice they can make.
This
situation might work for some families, but I believe it causes problems for many. A stay-at-home father might end up feeling unhappy, the family could end up not having enough money, and
parents
can still spend time with their
children
without staying home all day. A father who stays home all day could end up feeling very unhappy. If he gave up a job that he enjoyed,
then
he
also
gave up doing something that interested and challenged him.
In addition
, he gave up the opportunity to be with colleagues who shared his professional interests. In exchange for these things, he spends his days doing boring chores
such
as mopping floors and feeding and dressing his
children
. When a father gives up his career, he

gives up his salary. His wife may

working, but she may not earn as much money as her husband did.
In addition
, even if the wife earns a good salary, it is still only one salary. When a family goes from two salaries to one, they have to make many changes in their lifestyle that are not always convenient.
Children
can still have the benefit of time with their
parents
even when both
parents
work. In the first place,
children
spend most of the day in school, unless they are very young.
In addition
,
parents
can spend quality time with their
children
in the evenings and on weekends. They can
also
plan family vacations that give them the opportunity to have special experiences together. A stay-at-home

may seem like a good idea, but families need to consider all sides of the issue, both emotional and financial, before making
such
a big change in their lifestyle.

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
