Money
, throughout the ages, has been an essential part of human life. In today's
world
as well, the amount of wealth owned by an individual demonstrates one's accomplishment. In
this
essay, I will explain how
money
and success are correlated , and the view I hold about the other factors which make a successful human being. Undoubtedly, in the competitive
world
, monetary success determines the success of a
person
. The richer a
person
is , the more he can fulfil his own and his family's desires. When somebody has the power to buy anything, anytime, and anywhere,
this
buying power not only gives instant gratification but
also
a sense of achievement. A wealthy man has a far-reaching influence on society as a whole. Take Tesla's billionaire CEO, Elon Musk, as an example. His, constant, interference in the USA's space research policies is unprecedented. The USA's reliance on Elon Musk's financing of space research has impacted the government's independent space policy. The achievement of a
person
can be measured by his influence on society, clearly, the rich have unmatched influence. If a
person
loses
money
, one loses nothing, but if a
person
loses character, one loses everything;
once

a wise
person
said. If a rich man is a sinner or involved in other misconducts,
money
may not be helpful for him or her in earning a respectful position among the masses.
On the other hand
, a
person
relatively weaker in financial position but having good conduct would be more satisfied and successful. Former president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela,
for instance
, spent all his life for a cause; equality among all races.
Although
he is not present today in
this
world
, the public still remembers him with a good name. There are tens of hundreds of
such
personalities who spent their lives for a noble purpose, and they are still remembered as successful people and leaders. Indeed,
money
is imperative for being a successful
person
.
However
, if a
person
's conduct and their services to humanity and the
world
make them immortal in history.
Therefore
, history always glorifies the people whose conduct was exceptional towards humanity, but the rich are remembered until they are alive.

task response
The essay addresses the prompt and discusses the connection between money and success, providing examples and supporting ideas. However, the essay lacks clarity in explaining the alternative measures of success.
coherence and cohesion
The introduction and conclusion are well-presented, providing a clear structure to the essay. The logical flow of ideas within paragraphs is generally good, but some points could be further connected to improve coherence.

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
