Some
people
 hold the idea that public money should be spent on encouraging a healthy lifestyle to prevent illness rather than regimens of ill individuals. I totally refuse to follow
this
 notion as I believe that both approaches ought to be balanced. On the one hand, promoting a healthy lifestyle has long-term benefits. If
people
 are fully aware of the positive aspects of
this
 lifestyle, they will tend to adopt healthier habits including doing exercise, balanced nutrition, avoiding junk food and excessive alcohol consumption. From that, they can minimise the risk of diabetes, or heart disease or even protect their well-being.

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
