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

Maintaining public libraries is a waste of money since computer technology can replace their functions. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
It is often argued that maintaining public libraries is no longer necessary in today’s world because the development of computer technology has allowed us to access a great deal of information on the internet more efficiently. While I accept that there are clear benefits of online libraries over public libraries, I believe that it is still worth spending money on maintaining public libraries.

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. But still some people prefer to work in offices. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Ever since the pandemic occurred, many organisations shifted to work from home instead of working from an office, as it was easier to continue their work from remote locations because of the advancement of technology. They were able to achieve their goals via the usage of computers, laptops, internet, and modems. Some believe that it's an optimal solution than working from the office as it is more cheaper and flexible. Others argue that working from home is less professional and less effective because employees are not able to achieve their desired goals on time. I believe a more nuanced approach is necessary.

Some people think that University degree is needed for good profession while others believe that experiences plays the key role, so people should go work straight after school.
These days, some people think that the qualification of a University is not necessary, while others argue that an educational degree plays a crucial role in looking for a job. Although there are a lot of challenges until getting the University diploma, I potentially agree with this viewpoint because if you have academic qualifications, communication, and intellectual skills, the workplace and salary will be higher than inexperienced staff.
