task response
The introduction lacks a clear thesis statement. It also needs improvement in terms of coherence and cohesion. The body paragraphs lack clear topic sentences and supporting details. The essay does not effectively address the prompt, as it does not fully explore the extent to which the prevalence of social media affects attention spans. There is limited development of ideas and examples. The essay needs to provide a more balanced argument and explore counterpoints to strengthen the response.
coherence cohesion
The essay lacks a clear logical structure and coherence. The ideas are not well-connected, leading to a lack of flow in the essay. There is a need to use linking words more effectively to connect ideas and create a cohesive structure. Additionally, the conclusion does not effectively summarize the key points and does not provide closure to the essay.

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
