Band 4.5

In some schools and universities, girls tend to choose art subjects (e.g. literature) and boys tend to choose science subjects (e,g, physics). Why do you think this is so? should this tendency be changed?

It is argued that a vast majority of
girls
 are highly passionate about studying art
subjects
 rather than the other science ones namely physics, math and chemistry;
while
boys
 follow the opposite
trend
. In my opinion, it is mostly
due to
 traditional attitudes, encouraging
girls
 to avoid having masculine jobs in the future and definitely

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
