Some people believe that because of modern technology, it is no longer necessary for people to learn handwriting skills, while others think that handwriting is still an important skill.

Some individuals think that because of the technology development, handwriting abilities are no longer as important as were, whilst others assume that handwriting
skills
 are still vital. In my opinion, nowadays handwriting
skills
 are not necessary and I will try to prove
this
. There is the importance of handwriting
skills
 like general usage in life.
In addition
, it is important for people working in certain types of jobs
such
 as engineering or medicine.
For example
, if a doctor's handwriting is not understandable people can buy the wrong medical drugs rather than what the doctor actually meant.
Likewise

written precise calculations and cautions, and build not sustainable and dangerous construction.
On the other hand
, these problems can be solved by modern technology and we can just eliminate handwriting by replacing it with printers. For handwriting, we need pens or pencils made from plastic, and paper made from trees which leads to environmental pollution.
Moreover
, neither paper nor pen not always with us
whereas
 the smartphone we always have in our pocket and can just type what we want and send it. In conclusion, I can confidently say that nowadays, handwriting
skills
 are not

 an important thing because of modern technologies.

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
