#plan #holiday
A
holiday
 is needed especially for anyone who works restlessly all year long. So, a
holiday
 is one of the most exciting
things
 to do. The best way to plan a
holiday
 is not by not planning at all, and the reason behind it will be discussed
further
 as follows. A
holiday
 is a long waiting occasion that everyone waiting for.
As well as
 that, we should plan our
holiday
 neatly so that we will have a clear itinerary. Usually in new places,
things
 are different compared with our own place, so it is a saver for us to do research before going somewhere new, especially for a
holiday
.
For instance
, if one is planning to go for a
holiday
 in Bali, Indonesia, it is safe to research
things
 that are crucial like food, transportation, or even the hotel.
Nevertheless
, planning and doing some research might do more work, these activities will likely help you later. From already planning what transportation and where to stay, it will help in finding
further
 places to visit. Take Tiara Pangestika, the Indonesian influencer
for example
. Back when she was a teenager, she travelled to Switzerland and she is the kind of person who will plan
things
 neatly, and she already planned every train to take and where to go. So when the time to travel came, she didn't have to rush chase a train or come upon a closed theme park. In conclusion, planning for a
holiday
 is much more recommended than not doing planning at all, because of the convenience when travelling.

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
