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

In many countries, the level of crimes is increasing and crimes are becoming more violent. What are the main cause? How can we deal with?
In modern times, the rate of committing crime is reported to seriously increase in many developing nations. Moreover, there is a rising popularity in the violent level of criminal activities, which poses a severe threat to communities. The primary reasons for this situation partly stem from extravagant lifestyles in metropolises coupled with people’s resistance. However, it can be addressed by the government organizing defensive programs in society.

Some people believe that men and woman are equal and so women should be able to do any job they want. Others feel that men and women are not equal and therefore there are certain jobs which are not suitable for woman. What’s your opinion?
Over the last century the debates about gender equality have been becoming more and more common. Some societies support an idea of both sexes having the same rights, while others separate the kinds of jobs females and males can take in a very radical manner. There are a few key factors influencing the approach here: such as country, culture or religion.

Some people believe that the government spend too much money on wildlife protection projects and the money should be used for other things. Do you agree or disagree?
Nowadays, almost any country with developed economy has a reserved place in its budget for foreign aid. There can be many reasons for that. One government has a humanitarian desire to help people living under difficult conditions in poorer countries, another wants to obtain a strong political connection. However, negative effects of helping other countries sometimes can outweigh positive ones.

Some people believe that there should be fixed punishments for each type of crime. Others. However, argue that circumstances of an individual crime and the motivation for committing it, should always be taken into account. Discuss both side and give your opinion.
There appears to be a lack of consensus on the type of punishment for criminals committing the same offence. While some people argue that all offenders should be imposed the same punishments without caring about their motivations and situations, others, myself included, believe they should be considered in punishing them. In the following essay, I will explain both views in more detail.
