Money should be spent on creating new public buildings such as museums or town halls rather than renovating the existing ones. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Infrastructure developments are a major investment in every country. A segment of society claims that the capital from the construction industry should be spent in building new structures rather than renovating the existing ones. I entirely disagree with
this
idea.
Firstly
, traditional buildings have an irreplaceable historical value.
In addition
to the unique materials, techniques, and design implemented, most old constructions have several political and social facts related with it.
Consequently
, having these constructions preserved assist new generations to acknowledge the history and culture of peoples.
Moreover
, the value of historical sites can reflect on an increase in tourism rates. To illustrate in numbers, research conducted with tourists in Paris showed that the city's architecture was the main motivation of visits for seventy percent of them.
Therefore
, replacing old constructions
instead
of renovating them results in clear financial and historical losts.

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
