Now more and more people like to use written language in an informal way rather than an official one. Public concern has arisen about the potential detriment brought about by

phenomenon. Personally, I am not too optimistic about its result.

Firstly

, I will see the trend of informal written expression on formal occasions as a symptom of a fast-paced society which pursues high-effective lifestyles. With the development of the city, especially in urban cities, people must find a method that accelerates the process of quick questioning, comprehension and handling to solve the contingency. As time goes by, they could be used to adopt easy utterances in a normal way.

For instance

, there are some messages in email, which are commonplace, like ‘FYI’, ‘ASAP’, ‘BTW’, and ‘AFAIK’. As for the implications of casual writing in official situations, it is difficult for me to see it as anything other than disrespect in professional settings. Some might say it is the solution to a growing workload, which raises work efficiency. Those advocates are oblivious to the ambiguity of the term ‘benefit to communication’, which is a variable concept subject to various factors,

One typical example can be found in common business occasions, like job interviews and high-level documents. Prior ones are given an impression that you are trustworthy and are more likely to be hired. Latter, one shows that you treat it seriously and are more likely to make a deal. In conclusion, it seems to me that despite any merit influences of relaxed written words, there are more harmful parts brought about by

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 some countries fast food restaurants and supermarkets give money to schools to promote their product. Do you think it’s a positive or negative development of children ?
It is argued that supermarkets and fast food restaurants pay schools for advertising their product. This essay totally disagrees with that statement. I believe young adults and children should have a possibility to make their own decisions about what they want to eat and school as a public place does not have the right to prohibit any advertising, even junk food. In addition, money for promotion can be used to improve school conditions.

Volunteer work is becoming common in most countries around the world. One group of people supports the idea of making volunteer work mandatory among pupils who are in their senior year.
