I am of the personal belief that the idea of giving

children

homework

every day has far better benefits than not giving

children

homework

every day, and there are several reasons for

such

an opinion, which I shall be elaborating on below. Basically, I believe that

homework

is an opportunity for

students

to reinforce what they have learned in class and to practise important

skills

independently. Regular practice leads to better retention of knowledge and improved academic performance.

This

, I suppose, can be best exemplified by the fact that in a study carried out by the University of Shahid Beheshti in the city of Tehran in 2007 on first-year

students

, it was observed that 85% of

students

who did

homework

regularly had better memorisation

skills

. Whatsmore, it has been said that regular

homework

helps

children

develop valuable

skills

such

as time management, discipline, and responsibility, which are essential for success in both academic and professional settings, and I cannot but agree with

such

an opinion,as best illustrated by an article written in School Magazine, in which it was stated that by setting deadlines for completing assignments,

students

learn to prioritise tasks and allocate time

accordingly

. Another point to be considered is the fact that regular assignments prepare

students

for higher education. At college,

students

are expected to manage a heavy workload and complete assignments outside of class, so regular

homework

helps

students

develop the

skills

and work habits necessary for higher education.

For example

according to

Dr John Kersey of Harvard University, "Regular

homework

encourages independent learning, a key skill required in higher education.

By contrast

, I can

also

see the benefits of sparing

children

from daily

homework

. First of all, I believe that freeing

children

from daily schoolwork gives them more free time to rest, relax, and pursue extracurricular activities.

For example

according to

Dr David Gibson of Cambridge University, "Reduced

homework

reduces stress and anxiety and promotes better mental well-being in

children

. A final point to be considered is the fact that limiting daily

homework

gives

children

more social interaction and recreational activities with peers outside of school, improving their social

skills

and

overall

development. In conclusion, it is based on the abovementioned reasons that I would like to reiterate that I personally believe that the idea of

children

doing daily

homework

has far better benefits than not doing it regularly.

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

Due to our technological advanced, the use of smart phones and computers is becoming increasingly popular around the world.
