For instance

, I would share the story of my dead mum - I miss her so much. Reminiscing on the events of the 12th of May 1999, my mama was about to give birth to my little brother, she felt the labour pains and hurriedly left to get help. With joy in my heart, my friends and I waited for the good news - to hug her and play with the tiny creature. My excitement hit the rock when 'Papi' - my dad - told me that mummy slept in the Lord while birthing the child. My curiosity led me to inquire what went wrong, and he said that the 'housewives' - individuals whose experience avail them the opportunity to deliver women of their babies- could not stop the bleeding,

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
