coherence cohesion
Ensure that your essay has a clear structure, with an introduction that presents the topic, body paragraphs that extensively elaborate on your arguments, and a conclusion that summarises your perspective. You've done well in this area, but making your transition between ideas even smoother could further enhance clarity.
task achievement
Your argument would benefit from a more nuanced exploration. Consider both sides of the argument more thoroughly to demonstrate a deeper understanding of the issue. This will show your ability to engage critically with the topic.
coherence cohesion
Your essay provides good examples, but try to integrate these more seamlessly into your arguments. Make sure that each example directly supports the specific point you are trying to make in the same paragraph. This will make your argument stronger and more cohesive.

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
