 life. The major drawback is that a vegetarian
diet
 does not offer sufficient nutrients to the human body. Generally, it is believed that it lacks iron, calcium and other important vitamins, which are important to maintain good health. If
people
 solely rely on a vegetarian
diet
, they might have to take some supplements to deal with the problem of nutritional deficiency.
For instance
, iron deficiency is a common problem faced by vegetarian
people

However

this
 essay believes that there are more advantages than disadvantages. In spite of the above-mentioned drawback, the significant advantage is that a number of animal species can be saved. In today's world, animal trading is being done by humans, where these innocent animals are being killed or sent to animal markets just to become someone's meal for the sake of money. If more
people
 are eating vegetarian food, it means they are saving various living lives, which is beneficial for the environment too. A particularly good example here is India, where many meat shops closed down

Thus

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
