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

The issue of intelligence measurement has sparked a heated debate among many. It is widely argued that success is the best indicator for brilliance, but this notion is not without its critics.

Describe a rule that is important in your school or at work. You should say: What the rule is about what happens when people break the rule. why you think it is an important rule and explain how you feel about the rule?
I believe that rules play a vital role in shaping people and the environment. Rules are everywhere and we should obey them in order to live a peaceful life. Today I would like to talk about a rule which is important at my workplace and the rule is not to grow nails. So, at workplace, we cannot grow our nails because we work with small children. As small children's skin is very delicate, we cannot have longer nails as it can harm children's skin. Along with that, we also have a rule of not eating junk food in front of small children because they would imitate us. Eating junk food is not a healthy option, We encourage children to eat healthy food every day. So, whenever we are eating in front of children we cannot have junk food otherwise children will also do the same. If we break any of the rules at school we get a memo, a memo is like a fine which is not good for a teacher to earn and if we get 3 memos we will be terminated from the school. In order to not get that memo we take car...

Some people think it is a good idea to socialise with work colleagues during evenings and weekends. Other people think it is important to keep working life completely separate from social life. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Many people in work settings would treat their colleagues as their school friends, go out on the weekends and/or in the evenings with them, and ect. While that is a good way to be more social and gain popularity, to then gain trust from other people, some may see it as inappropriate and that it is important to keep a clear line between work life and social life.
