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

Wealthy countries should accept more refugees and provide them with basic assistance, such as food and housing. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is argued that rich nations should allow more refugees to enter their borders and support them with food and shelter. This essay completely agrees with this view because rich countries have enough resources to do this and these people are fleeing from countries that are affected by war and famine.

I am writing to complain about destop comuter that is provided by your company for work purpose. From a couple of weeks ago, the computer is hanging frequently. Especially, when I am typing anything for a long, it just stucks in between and the worst part is, it would not allow me to save any content, thats why I have to type everything again. Additionaly, one thing that I have noticed is that whenever it hangs, a high volume of fan is coming from the CPU which is quite unusual. Then I have to shut down the entire system and restart it which is very time-consuming. Because of that, sometimes I can not accomplish my tasks within allocated period. On top of that, yesterday the system was stucked in the middle of my presentation with my boss which was highly embarassing for me.

Computers and modems have made it possible for office workers to do much of their work from home instead of working in offices every day. Working from home should be encouraging as it is good for both employers and workers. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answers and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experience.
Nowadays, most companies give two options to their employers to choose their workplace. They can work in their house or they can attend the building where everybody works together. Some people believe that, the home office system should be more common among workers. While others think that working from home should be banned. I personally disagree that working from home can bring some harmful consequences for workers.
