It is a fact that people have to spend a lot of

 at
work
.
Therefore
, some argue that it is a good idea to spend some
time
 with their coworkers outside of

.
Whereas
, others believe that it is best to keep working

 completely separate from social
life
.
Although
 there are both opinions about the given topic, as far as I am concerned, it would be better to build good relationships with

Firstly
, it is beneficial for workers in terms of their mental wellness if they have good relationships at
work

This

For instance

work
, they could discuss

what they struggled with and how to manage the stressful situations.
This
 would have positive impacts on their mental health.
On the other hand
, some state that working
life
 should be separated from social

 when it comes to their privacy.
This
 is because some might forget about the boundary between colleagues and some may misbehave at

Additionally

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
