Living in a foreign

because communication is a basic skill needed by social creatures like humans. The most used method of communication is
language
. Every
country
developed its own
language
for thousands of years and
then
the
language
barrier came up as a serious problem for visiting other countries. As a non-English speaker, I find it hard to express what is in my mind. When you can not speak your mind, you cannot communicate. Every day we communicate with
people
, buy groceries, buy food, asking for help using our mother
language
. When we go abroad, we have to speak their
language
. We have to understand the currency so we can pay the right amount.
In addition
, we need to build relations with
people
around us and foreign
people
also
have different types of humour that we must understand to build deeper emotions. To solve
this
problem, we can do things prior to living in a foreign
country
to adapt. We can take speaking classes to improve our speaking ability or find a partner to have a conversation

Once we are familiar with the
language
, we can get to know more about the other culture too.
For example
, Korean
people
hardly greet other
people
if they do not know them,
while
Indonesians could have a conversation with strangers on the bus if they are bored. So, yes I really agree that living in a foreign
country
can cause social and practical problems.

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
