Some people believe using the modern technology (digital photographs, blogs) is the best way to record and remember important personal events. Others think the traditional method (making photo albums, writing diaries) is better. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

People
have different arguments about how to
record
and memorize valuable experiences. Some think new technology is the best way,
whereas
others believe photo albums and handwriting diaries are more suitable for them. Here I will consider both viewpoints and explain why I firmly believe the traditional method is better for
people
. I will begin with the views of those who disagree with me. One of their main arguments is that modern technology helps
people
take photos and
record
messages conveniently and low-costly.
According to
them, cell phones and computers have become common daily, particularly among youth, so they can
record
anything anywhere without cameras, pens and paper.
In addition
, they
also
can send it to social media and share the great experience with friends, which makes these pictures or messages stored online and easy to find in the future.
For instance
, when young
people
travel with their friends, it is a high possibility that they will take photos by cellphone
instead
of a camera as it is easy to take and share so that they can recall these valuable events in digital photographs. In my opinion,
however
, it is not a very convincing argument. I think traditional methods have more memorable value and popularity.
This
means that
this
is an effective way to recall precious memories and true feelings with old photographs and handwriting diaries. At the same time, it is easy to share with the old generation and derive pleasure and self-satisfaction from the process.
For example
, my family used to open old albums to talk about some funny moments, even details during the Chinese new year, as it is a vivid way to revive events and feelings.
As a result
, I believe that choosing a traditional method to
record
daily life is not a bad choice, especially for some young
people
who rely deeply on modern technology.
This
helps them revive the precious events and true feelings in the past.

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
