Band 4.5

Some people think that all university students should study whatever they like. Others believe that they should only be allowed to study subjects that will be useful in the future, such as those related to science and technology. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

coherence cohesion
While you presented an introduction and conclusion, the essay's logical structure needs attention. The argument can be disjointed, causing confusion in following the main points.
coherence cohesion
Ensure each paragraph follows a clear main idea, with subsequent sentences coherently supporting that idea. Improve the transition between ideas and paragraphs to enhance readability.
task achievement
Your essay marginally addressed the task by discussing both views and providing your opinion. However, the discussion can be more balanced, with a clearer exploration of each viewpoint.
task achievement
Your ideas are generally clear, but the way you express them can be improved to enhance comprehension. Try to clearly outline the supporting points for each argument.
task achievement
Relevant examples are provided but they're not always specific or fully developed to support the argument. Ensure each example adds valuable insight to your points.

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
