Many adults nowadays prefer spending their free time playing computer games. Why do they do this? Is this a positive or negative development?

task response
Ensure that the introduction and conclusion clearly reflect the key points of the essay and provide a strong and concise thesis statement. Additionally, ensure that the main points are adequately supported in the body paragraphs with relevant examples and explanations.
coherence and cohesion
The logical structure of the essay is fairly good, but there is room for improvement in the coherence and cohesion of the essay. Ensure that there is a clear progression of ideas within and between paragraphs, with appropriate use of cohesive devices such as transition words and pronouns.

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
