Band 7

Some people believe that professionals, such as doctors and engineers, should be required to work in the country where they did their training. Others believe they should be free to work in another country if they wish. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

It is argued that
professionals
, e.g. doctors and engineers, should be restricted from doing their job in the
country
 where they were trained,
while
 others believe that
professionals
 should freely choose where
country
 to
work
.
Although
 working abroad allows them to have a more well-paid job, I believe
professionals
 should
work
 in their home
country
 because they are paid by the
government
. Many
professionals
 have the motivation to
work
 abroad
due to
 the fact that many high-skilled jobs are paid higher in developed countries. Most developed countries have multinational companies that will compensate professional employees with high salaries.
For example
, a lot of Indonesian engineers are being paid very highly for working in multinational oil companies in Saudi Arabia.
However
, since many of the
professionals
 were trained with taxpayer money, I think it is their responsibility to
work
 and develop their
country
. Less-developed countries will most likely invest highly in human resources,
this
 includes
government
 funding in many professional trainings. The
government
 needs to publicly fund training because of the fact that there are not many
professionals
 in their state to build their nation.
Therefore
,
this
 effort is expected to give the return in many states to have their own
professionals
 working for them.
For instance
, the Indonesian
government
 has a scholarship called "LPDP" which pays young Indonesians to study at universities but requires them to stay in Indonesia after their study ends. In conclusion,
while
 it is good for many
professionals
 to have more well-paid jobs overseas, I believe they need to
work
 in their home
country
 to support their nation's development.

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
