#children #form #discipline
Physical punishment has been popular in many communities for a long time. Some of them believe that many
children
 will follow the rules if they are spanked by their
parents
.
This
 essay will argue why smacking the younger generation is entirely unacceptable in raising
children
.
Parents
 are sometimes encouraged to spank
children
 when they do bad things. They assume
that is
 the only way to make them obey the rules.
For example
, my grandfather smacked my
father
 when he was a teenager because my grandfather desperately wanted to make my
father
 stop smoking. Since that experience, my
father
 stopped smoking and was really afraid to make some mistakes in front of them.
This
 instance makes some
parents
 consider physical punishment as the easiest way to discipline
children
. Despite the assumption that smacking
children
 can stop them from doing bad things, many researchers found out that, those experiences can make young people traumatized and become more fragile.
Due to
 many
parents
 in the previous era like to use power over their
children
, many teenagers nowadays have mental health problems.
For instance
, up until now, my
father
 was really afraid of cigarettes because it would bring bad memories for him.
Overall
, the idea of smacking
children
 could potentially harm their future.
This
 essay
argued
Wrong verb form
argues
show examples
 that punishing
children
 with physical abuse is a form of way to discipline
children
. It seems to me that, smacking the young generation is completely bad in parenting.
This
 habit will be really dangerous for our future generations.

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
