Some people believe that studying at university or college is the route to a successful career, while others believe that it is better to get a job straight after school. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

It’s generally considered that a university or college qualification is necessary for students to get better jobs,
while
 some think that youngsters are supposed to work immediately after finishing high school. On the one hand, students can reap more benefits from pursuing higher education in many ways. Since a university certificate is an indicator of perseverance, passion and effort needed for a four-year academic course, it is often seen by employers as

Besides

as well as
 academic qualifications, which can only be obtained in universities and colleges.
On the other hand
, the recognition that young individuals should pass directly from school to job has its own point. Those who have spent some time figuring out how to butter their bread by themselves at a young age are more likely to grow more soft skills like leadership and flexibility

 and have a broader view of life.
Moreover
, they can be economically and physically independent earlier, providing them with an ideal environment to explore the true passion and career path they would like to pursue in the future. In my opinion, these two views are not completely exclusive. An optimal option is the two above combined. Young students should be given an opportunity to take a gap year before higher education to get a clear perspective of life without giving up university, just as many of them do today.

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
