Nowadays, in many countries, there is a trend that shows that children and teenagers tend to spend more and more of their time indoors rather than participating in outdoor activities. On the one hand, the main cause of
this
 problem is the rapidly developing
internet
 technology. There are huge temptations on the
internet
. The younger generation can connect with their peers on social media, play video games, watch films and shop online. It turns out that, to some children and teenagers, the artificial world on the
internet
 is way more attractive than the real world.
For example
, the invention of virtual reality introduced a new approach to surfing the
internet
.
Internet
 users are now allowed to explore the artificial world with a no-blind angle vision. The boundary between the
internet
 and reality is blurred.
Moreover
, some of the younger generation are not capable of communicating with their peers face-to-face since the popularity of social media has become one of the main tools for us to connect.
On the other hand
, they are not something that cannot be solved. The government and teachers play a vital role in facing the problems. The government should improve to education system.
Firstly
, let the school mentors help the younger generation rebuild the ability to communicate with their peers in reality rather than relying on social media.
Secondly
, schools should hold more outdoor activities
such
 as sports competitions or school fairs, in order to build partnerships between students.
In addition
, students’ mental toughness can be improved by joining those school-held outdoor activities. What is more, teachers should help them plan future goals
instead
 of playing video games. On the whole, in my opinion, the
internet
 is the main reason that leads to
this
 trend.
Nevertheless
, the improving education system and teachers’ encouragement are the best measures to solve the trend.

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
