. I personally think that the benefits of the populace aged 60 or above will bring social and economic impact to the country they live in. Generally, older generations have to deal with retirement owing to the government’s regulations

However

For example

Hence

, these facts support the advantages of having boomers generations that could still contribute an economic value for the government rather than being considered as the non-productive population.

In addition

, the older populace is part of businesses’ target market since they have to fulfil their needs which makes them an active spender.

For instance

, hospitals and nursery services in Japan experienced a rise in their revenue

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:

To summarize

Students should be primarily taught academic subjects so that they can pass exams, and practical skills such as cooking should not be taught. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
There is a widespread belief that only mandatory academic subjects should be taught at school in order for students to pass their exams, whereas other skills, namely cooking, dancing, and sports, should be eliminated from the school's curriculum. Although learning only the core subjects can help students focus more and perform better academically, I partly disagree with this strategy because it would only make students more stressed. Instead, students need to have practical skills to help them transition smoothly into the real world.

Some people think that newspapers are the best way to get news. However, others believe that other media are better sources of news. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
It is true for many people that reading news in newspapers is the most effective method to learn about current and international events as well as broaden their horizon, while others claim that getting news via media, radio and the internet is the best option. From my point of view, although reading news from the newspaper is the great way to obtain information, I would argue that using other types of media is preferable.
