In recent times, many people are making the decision to live alone. What are the causes of this? Does it have positive or negatives effects on society? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own experience or knowledge.

UNDOUBTEDLY, THE DESIRE OF LIVING A SOLITARY LIFESTYLE IS INCREASING BECAUSE OF A HECTIC WORK SCHEDULE.
ALTHOUGH
THERE ARE MINIMAL MERITS OF SOLO LIVING FOR THE COMMUNITY
SUCH
AS INDEPENDENT AND MATURE INDIVIDUALS, I CONCUR THAT IT HAS MORE DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS ON HUMANITY AS A WHOLE. THE POPULARITY OF SPENDING LIFE ALONE CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE FACT THAT ALMOST EVERY PROFESSION IS OVERBURDENED. TO DECIPHER IT, EVERYONE WANTS TO PROVE IT'S WORTH AT JOB AND WANTS TO CLIMB THE SUCCESS LADDER AT THE EARLIEST, AND
HENCE
SPEND MAXIMUM TIME OF THEIR DAY WORKING. BECAUSE OF A LACK OF THE WORK-LIFE BALANCE, THEY HAVE NO TIME TO SPEND WITH THEIR NEAR AND DEAR ONES.
CONSEQUENTLY
,
INSTEAD
OF HAVING UNNECESSARY QUARRELS AND SEPARATION LATER; THE MASSES PREFER TO STAY ALONE. THE
SECOND
REASON, LINKED TO THE
FIRST
IS, TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS. DUE TO THESE DEVELOPMENTS, PEOPLE NOW DO NOT FEEL ALONE EVEN IF THEY ARE IN ISOLATION.
IN OTHER WORDS
, AFTER THE INVENTION OF SOCIAL MEDIA APPLICATIONS LIKE FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM AND SNAPCHAT, NOBODY FEEL VIRTUALLY ISOLATED, EVEN THOUGH THEY PHYSICALLY ARE. THESE ARE THE MAIN REASONS BEHIND THE DECISION OF MANY TO LIVE ALONE. WHEREAS THERE ARE ADVANTAGES LIKE MORE MATURE AND SELF-DEPENDENT CITIZENS IN THE WORLD AS EVERYBODY LEARN TO LIVE ON THEIR OWN,
THIS
APPROACH HAS MAJOR NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON SOCIETY. THE PREDOMINANT ONE IS NO EMOTIONAL CONNECTION BETWEEN HUMANS. MEANS
THIS
WORLD WILL CONVERT INTO A PLACE WITH NO EMOTIONS, PEOPLE WILL USE EACH OTHER FOR THEIR OWN NEED BECAUSE WE LEARN LOVE AND CARE WHEN WE LIVE TOGETHER.
MOREOVER
,
THIS
SECLUDED CIVILIZATION WILL BE LESS PRODUCTIVE. TO EXPLAIN IT, WHILE LIVING SOLO, THE MASSES SPENT MOST OF THEIR TIME ON GADGETS. DUE TO WHICH THEIR SLEEP WILL DEPRIVE AND THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PERFORM BETTER IN ANY FIELD.
IN ADDITION
TO
THIS
, THEY WILL PHASE MENTAL ISSUES
SUCH
AS DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO ONE TO TALK TO AND TAKE CARE OF THEM IN PHYSICAL FORM.
FOR INSTANCE
, AS PER A REPORT SUBMITTED BY 'WHO', 43% OF YOUTH IS FIGHTING WITH ONE OR ANOTHER KIND OF DEPRESSION BECAUSE THEY LIVE ALONE. ULTIMATELY, THESE DEPRESSED PEOPLE WILL CAUSE A DEPRESSED community, IN WHICH NOONE WANTS TO LIVE I GUESS. TO RECAPITULATE, AFTER DISCUSSING THE REASONS BEHIND THE DECISION OF INDIVIDUALS TO LIVE ALONE, I RESTATE THAT
THIS
CHOICE OF MASSES WILL LEAD THE WORLD TOWARDS A DEAD END. AN AUTHOR HAS WELL SAID, ' TODAY YOUTH DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE TRUE HAPPINESS , IT COMES WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS NOT WITH MONEY AND SECLUSION.

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
