Band 5

Some university students want to learn about other subjects in addition to their main subjects. Others believe it is more important to give all their time and attention to studying for a qualification. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

There have been competing views on whether college

 or they have to focus and concentrate on their main subject only. In my opinion, it would be better if they

 more attention to their main

 of learning many disciplines of knowledge. On one hand, it could be argued that university attendee should be free to choose what they want to learn even outside of their program of
study
 as multidisciplinary
study
 will enrich their understanding and expertise. In future careers, employers will admire them

 their broader skills and knowledge.
For instance

On the other hand

This
 learning method differentiates the way university

 and school

 pursue their studies. On campus,
students
 should enroll in certain programs of

 school

 learn many subjects in general. Because regulations limit the

, college
students
 will easily focus and become an expert in certain knowledge. To take everything into account,
while
 there are those who think that university
students
 can freely learn something beyond their curriculum, I argue that the most effective way to be an expert is by deeply focusing on a specific subject.

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
