Nowadays, there are many individuals who wants to self-employed. Do the advantages outweigh disadvantages?

#individuals
In modern times, more and more people prefer to work on their own.
While
such
 workers could risk their financial stability, I believe that they have the freedom to choose their own path.
Thus
, I agree that the advantage far outweighs any possible disadvantages. On a negative note, freelance workers may risk their financial
income
 as they do not have a fixed contract as other company's employees.
Such
 freelancers have to search for their own

 portals or starting their own business from scratch, resulting in not having a monthly fixed
income
 like other conventional workers.
However
, I think self-employers can have strategies to have a fixed
income
 or even boost their
income
such
 as personal branding through the Internet or self-marketing.
On the other hand
, one of the main positives not for working independently is the flexibility they may have that can benefit them.
Firstly
, they can be more flexible in choosing their preferred
jobs
 and working time, causing a stress-free environment and conditions.
Moreover
, they can have free space to explore their skills and their potential and

 in achieving more professional experience and multiplying more money than working in just one company.
For instance

Therefore
, I believe that self-working allows people to find their own true selves and greatness in life. In conclusion,
although

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
