Simon’s ielts writing task 2

"While I accept argument A, I favour argument B"
Here's an example question: 
Early technological developments helped ordinary people and changed their lives more than 
recent developments. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Here's my introduction: 
Technological progress has taken place throughout the course of human history. While early 
technologies certainly changed the lives of normal people, I believe that recent breakthroughs have 
had an even greater impact.
Note:
The 'while' sentence makes it clear that I favour one side of the argument, but it allows me to mention 
both sides in the main body of my essay.

IELTS Writing Task 2: really short conclusion! 
It's fine to write a really short conclusion for IELTS writing task 2. You don't need to say anything new; 
just paraphrase what you wrote in your introduction or summarise your overall answer to the 
question. For example, read 
last week's
question and my introduction, then read my short conclusion 
below. 
In conclusion, I disagree with the idea that early technologies had more of an effect on ordinary 
people than recent ones.
