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

University education should be free to everyone, regardless of income. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
University education is a place where people can get a higher level of learning. Hence, people think that it should be accessible to anyone regardless of their financial status. I strongly agree that any country should make it free of cost not only because it is stated in the Human Rights Declaration, but also to generate more individuals with a higher quality.

University students often focus on one subject. However, some people think that universities should encourage students to learn a range of other subjects. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
In contemporary education, designing a curriculum for university students has become a heated topic among people in society. Some people believe that focusing on one important subject is more beneficial for students to pursue their dreams. However, others argue that learning a range of other subjects creates more job opportunities. In this essay, I will examine both perspectives and provide my viewpoints on this matter.

In some countries, owning a home rather than renting one is very important for people. Why might this be the case? Do you think this is a positive or negative situation?
Possessing a property is considered crucial, compared with renting from owners, in some states. I contend that this perception occurs due to the importance of tangible assets. Also, I believe that it is a negative tendency because properties are not necessarily attainable for low and middle income populations, and it may create a social pressure of labeling people without a property as a 'failure'.
