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

Nowadays many jobs are more stressful and the working day is longer. What are the reasons for this? What can employers do to help employees?
Jobs are becoming increasingly stressful due to numerous reasons including strenious working hours and underemployment. For instance, the NHS is currently experiencing a shortage of staff members, thus forcing healthcare professionals to work for prolonged hours. The demands of being a doctor, such as the constant responsibility of the populations well-being, paired with long working hours undoubtedly increase worry and anxiety. Moreover, the underemployment can be attributed to a decrease working population within a nation, such as China. In the 20th century, the government of China enforced the 'one child policy', consequently leading to an increased elderly population with a small number of citizens to support them. Hence, the majority of institutions in China are understaffed with the employees being overworked in order to support their families.

There are controversial statements heating up a debate about whether it is crucial that the authority makes an investment in the healthcare and educational system or not. While some claim that covering full the cost of medical care and schooling plays a paramount imperative role, the opposite makes a perspective that the governor doesn’t take accountability for this. From my perspective, having financial assistance in medical care and education is the essence for people; nevertheless, they had better invest partially for this,
