Television is dangerous because it destroys family life and any sense of community; instead of visiting people or talking with our family we just watch television. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Television
has become a basic need in the home for entertainment. It is one of the most used devices to amuse ourselves with a lot of options
while
having some bad effects at the same time.
However
, I believe that technology like
television
has benefits but at the cost of damage to society. A key to support my reason is the different perspectives of all of us in the same family.
Television
provides different shows to watch like dramas, movies and news that are good to entertain but can cause disputes
also
.
For example
,
last
weekend we arranged a get-together at home with all my cousins, we planned to watch a movie together. We were excited to watch a movie together but on the day that happiness turned into a quarrel because everyone had a different taste in movies, some wanted to watch a horror movie, some wanted action meanwhile some wanted a love story. So,
instead
of watching together,we watched movies on our own mobile phones. Another reason to prove my reason is unawareness from your family members
nevertheless
, you're aware of other world through
television
. No doubt
television
is a good source of knowledge and information but addiction to any good thing could be lethal.
For example
, in my neighbourhood there is Mrs. Nwaz who started a friendship with an unknown woman who often used to visit her home. Mr. Nwaz were unaware of all of
this
because he always liked to watch the news and support on
television
after his duty. Suddenly we heard the news that an unknown woman robbed Mrs Nwas with a gang and beat her brutally.
This
all happened just because of the ignorance of Mr Nwaz because if he had time for her wife it would never happened. In spite of the disadvantages of watching
television
, there are some benefits, we can learn about other cultures and communities from
television
.
For example
, there are some cooking shows, women can easily learn new recipes that they have never tried before.
Hence
,
television
has great benefits and chances to keep people happy and motivated but with some negative impacts on family systems at the same time.

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
