Many museums charge for admission, while others are free. Do you think the advantages of charging people for admission to museums outweigh the disadvantages?

Some
museums
charge an
entrance
fee
while
others do not.
This
essay discusses that the drawbacks of charging an admission
fee
do not outweigh the benefits because,
although
it may restrict the accessibility of some people,
entrance
fee
enables
museums
to remain open with improved
facilities
. On the one hand, the disadvantages of charging a
fee
at the
entrance
may exclude low-
income
populations from visiting
such
places. There are some people who can't allocate money for leisure and entertainment as their
income
is only sufficient to
fulfill

fulfil

their basic needs.In
such
incidents,
this
act may indirectly violate their right to entertainment.
For instance
, many low-
income
families who only receive about 1000 Lankan rupee per (LKR) a day cannot afford the average
entrance
fee
of 500LKR to visit the Colombo Museum.
However
, I believe that receiving an
income
will be beneficial for maintaining the
facilities
of
museums
.
On the other hand
, the
income
generated from
entrance
tickets strengthens the
income
of
museums
as many of them do not receive government funding. The
income
generated through
this
can be utilized to maintain and pay wages for staff including security and other essential tasks.
For instance
, most of the government funding allocated for
museums
was cut down during the financial crisis in Sri Lanka and
therefore
many of the places tended to close permanently
due to
the non-availability of any other ways of funding. In conclusion,
although
the idea of charging an
entrance
fee
excludes low-
income
families from enjoying those
facilities
, I believe that it is a better solution for
museums
to remain open with improved
facilities
,
therefore
the advantages of charging an
entrance
fee
in
museums
do not outweigh the benefits.

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
