Well,
this
topic reminded me of my appointment whit my childhood friend. I guess it was several months ago when my childhood friend called and invited me to have lunch at the restaurant. I was very pleased because I
didn’t
have seen her for a long
time
so, we arranged a
time
for the weekend. I was very busy during the week and
then
at the weekend our appointment just slipped my mind. I was studying at home when my friend called and at that moment suddenly I recalled our meeting. I felt embarrassed and I was very sorry and
didn’t
know how I can explain the situation because I
didn’t
have any valid excuses. I was puzzled because it was the first
time
I’d forgotten an appointment. Actually, I wasted my friend’s
time
and she thought I
didn’t
care about her, so I apologized to her and I
didn’t
know

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
