task response

Your essay adequately addresses the topic, but it could benefit from a more balanced discussion of both the reasons for the popularity of crime novels and TV crime dramas and your personal opinion.

coherence and cohesion

The logical structure of your essay is somewhat unclear. Ensure that your ideas are presented in a more organized and coherent manner, with clear transitions between paragraphs.

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

Improvements in health, education and trade are essential for the development of poorer nations. However, the governments of richer nations should take more responsibility for helping the poorer nations in such areas. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
It cannot be denied that growth in areas like medicine, education, and trade is crucial for the upliftment of economically backward societies. Some believe that this assistance must be provided by the affluent nations on a larger scale. I strongly agree with this notion because it will help the poorer countries to come out of the poverty trap and in turn reward the developed countries with added revenue as well as cheap labor.

Many people believe that a country’s wealth is dependant on the health of its citizens. Other people argue that education is a better indicator of a nation’s wealth and well-being. What is your opinion? What are some other factors that contribute to the growth and prosperity of a country?
there are numerous gauges to the country's overall wealth. Some might argue that the citizen's health should be the primary indicator of a country's well-being, while others believe that education is a better measure. Personally, I believe that education is the rightful measure to assess the country's financial state, however, other factors like infrastructure should not be overlooked.

It can be difficult for small local shops to compete with large supermarkets and with on-line shops. How does this affect local communities? What could be done to improve this situation?
Nowadays there is more choice for the consumer than ever before. Large supermarket chains sell products from around the world at rock bottom prices. We are also able to buy anything we desire from the internet and, often, have it delivered the next day. However, this comes at the detriment of small local shops, and our local communities. I would suggest that we need to take measures to address this problem.

Some people believe that professionals, such as doctors and engineers, should be required to work in the country where they did their training. Others believe that they should be free to work in another country if they wish. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
There have been competing views on whether skilled workers should work in the country that trained them. In my opinion, they should be granted freedom of movement in order to achieve their career fulfilment.
