Countries with a long average working time are more economically successful than those countries which do not have a long working time. To what extent do you agree or disagree.

Many people argue that long average working hours bring more profits to the countries than those which have lower
time
. Personally, I partly agree with
this
view and it depends on the monetary and physical health of workers. On the one hand, the more
time
you
work
, the more money you make.
Therefore
, if citizens earn more money from their hard
work
, the government will receive more revenue from taxes leading to the development of the
economy
. To illustrate, many present companies pay salaries to employees based on their dedication and productivity.
Hence
, it is easier for staff who
work
for a long period and have high productivity to be promoted on the career ladder and dedicated to society by paying taxes.
On the other hand
, I believe that not always spending a long
time
at
work
contributes more to the money in the
economy
than those who do not. One reason is that some health problems may appear
due to
long-term assignments.
Thus
, their productivity will decrease and badly affect their income.
For example
, in Japan, many people who are old and vulnerable to

as stress and strain are working like blue-collar workers in some fields.
Consequently

than in many countries of the world, resulting in the reduction of the labour force and profits of the
economy
. In conclusion, for the reasons I have mentioned above, I believe that
although
long labour
time
can help the
economy
of the countries earn higher revenue, it is not a good way to improve the monetary because of the potential harm to the residents.

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
