For example
, in many countries, Christmas is an occasion that all members gather around for shopping, having holidays and getting mouth-watering cuisine since
this
holiday is the time when all members have the same length of day off. The same behaviour can be seen in non-religious festivals like Bornfire night, citizens love watching the fireworks, and camping in the countryside.
In other words
, enjoyment and relaxation are the main goals.
On the other hand
, I disagree that communities have forgotten all the meaning behind these celebrations.
For instance
, in many nations, children are taught about the religious meaning of Christmas and Jesus' birthdays.
Furthermore
, in late December, kids sing the Holy Night song which has religious content and some even instruments the plays of telling stories about the Bonfire night.

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
