 I will shed light on the issue in the following essay. On the one hand, how would you define
happiness
? The definition can be so different throughout different stages of
life

Moreover

 say that cheerfulness is a state of well-being
as well as
 a pleasurable and satisfying experience. From there, we can see that delight is something that can be created from very small

On the other hand

things
 like family, friends, money, or even
failure
 can be important factors in achieving
happiness

failure
 makes

 feel depressed and frustrated. All they do is beat themselves up, thinking about the

Also

as a result

However

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
