It is thought by a selection of individuals that high school's curriculum should include unpaid

 their main subjects. From my perspective, I disagree with
this
 notion and my supporting reasons will be outlined in the following paragraphs before reaching a conclusion. At the outset, there are several drawbacks

to adding

 these
community

 into their compulsory programmes and one of the most significant is that students might lose their focus on the main subjects. To elaborate
further
, doing
community

 can distract learners directly if they find the

 fun and enjoyable, making them want to go out all the time.
Moreover
, if teachers allow children to do those
services
, they might be exhausted and drained and
therefore
 students will fall asleep during their classes. An apt illustration of

 is that I used to do

as well as

In addition
, after coming back from those leisure events, I always fell asleep leading to my scores drop in that term.
Additionally
, another clear upset to support my viewpoints is the state of well-being of students. To explain in greater detail, it is possible that children might get injured from

Furthermore
, minors would compete with others in their classes which in turn makes them feel stressed and depressed if they lose. To specifically demonstrate, in the service
activities
, a teacher separated us into two groups and who could finish a road cleaning first would be rewarded.
As a result
, my team lost and all of us felt down and blue;
besides
, most of us caught a cold in the next days as the event was organised outdoors. All in all, it is undeniable that unpaid

 can bring benefits to children.
However
, from my point of view, they only provide learners with plenty of disadvantages
such
 as making them lose their focus on the significant and paramount subjects. Another thing is, their physical and mental health can be worsened by these

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
