Therefore

It is clear that

 different countries have different educational priorities. If one country finds that it is short of scientists, it may expand the teaching of science at high schools in order to cope with the issue.

Task Achievement
To improve task achievement, make sure to provide a clear position in your thesis statement and maintain a consistent stance throughout the essay. Also, offer more specific examples to illustrate your points more vividly.
Coherence and Cohesion
To enhance coherence and cohesion, consider the logical flow between ideas and paragraphs. Signposting and linking words should be used effectively to guide the reader through the argument. While you've made a commendable effort in structuring your essay, adding examples that directly support your main points will strengthen the overall cohesion.

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
