Fewer schools are requiring children to learn and improve their handwriting. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages of this trend

Handwriting is a reflection of personality and speaks volumes about an individual. It is one of the most important

skills

learnt in the early childhood days and

schools

play a major role in helping children to learn & write and thereby eventually mould their handwriting. In recent years, some

schools

aren't necessarily focusing more on children's handwriting and

this

has many disadvantages. A number of

schools

are adopting a computer-based approach for conducting classes and examinations. The management of

such

schools

are solely focusing on teaching and are not giving importance to the student's handwriting and their written presentation

skills

Instead

of using pen and paper, many

students

are

also

preferring to use their devices for taking notes as well as for preparing for examinations. They

also

often argue that

students

' focus must be primarily on acquiring knowledge and that the other

skills

aren't that beneficial.

Although

they are certain benefits of

this

approach like saving time & resources and

also

accessing information from anywhere anytime, it has its own disadvantages which outweigh the advantages.

Firstly

, the ability to write well in an understandable way is a very beneficial skill to have. If

students

hardly write, in the long run, they would not be able to write at all.

Secondly

, electronic devices aren't available for use in every industry, there are some industries & sectors where the work gets done only with writing. Electronically produced statements do not work in government offices

such

as banks & post offices .

Students

must be able to write effectively with proper handwriting and improving

skills

related to handwriting will help them sustain themselves anywhere. In my opinion, handwriting is a very basic requirement to be able to write effectively. Developing handwriting

skills

should be taught as per the school's curriculum and it should not be ignored .

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
