Band 4.5

More and more people are working from rather than at the workplace. Some people say this will bring benefits to the workers and their families, but others think it will bring stress to the home. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

In
this
 era of modern technology, remote
work
 can be as effective and productive as office

 during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the world suddenly stopped its activities and started to find new ways to adapt to these sudden changes. That includes the way that we

This
 new method of

, allows
workers
 to have more to spend with their families and save more money since they do not need to pay anything to commute or lunch. It will

 with the ability to choose the most comfortable workplace,

 bringing more happiness to the
workers
. Unfortunately, these positive ideas of remote
work
 are sometimes not as good as they should be once it is applied. There have been many cases where remote
work
 causes families to separate

 since not all

 can manage their time well,
thus
 affecting their time with their families. Sometimes, the workplace could

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
