Task Response
Your essay adequately addresses the given topic and presents a clear position on whether putting personal information online is a positive or negative development. However, the actual position is not explicitly stated in the introduction. It is important to clearly state your position in the introduction to provide a roadmap for your essay.
Coherence and Cohesion
Your essay shows a logical structure with clear paragraphs and a smooth flow of ideas. However, there are a few areas where the coherence could be improved. For example, the transition between the first and second paragraph could be smoother to provide a stronger connection between the two ideas.
Lexical Resource
Your essay demonstrates a good range of vocabulary and appropriate word choices. However, there are a few instances where the use of language can be improved. For example, instead of using 'undoubtedly', you can use a stronger word like 'undisputed' to emphasize the point.
Grammatical Range
Your essay exhibits a good control of grammar with mostly accurate sentence structures. However, there are a few errors in subject-verb agreement and incorrect verb tenses. It is important to review your sentences for grammatical accuracy.

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
