coherence cohesion
Your essay structure show a logical progression overall, but there's room to create clearer links between your main ideas and examples. It is important to ensure that each paragraph flows seamlessly to the next with the help of cohesive devices and clear topic sentences.
coherence cohesion
The introduction and conclusion are present, but the thesis could be more explicit, and the conclusion could be strengthened by summarizing the key points more effectively. Aim for a more impactful opening and closing that frame your essay clearly.
coherence cohesion
You have attempted to support your main points with examples, but the relevance and development of these examples are limited. Ensure that each main point is illustrated with a specific, detailed example that directly supports your argument.
task achievement
While you have somewhat addressed the task, there is a tendency to provide a generic discussion rather than an in-depth examination of the topic. The prompt demands a balanced consideration of both advantages and disadvantages with a clear position. Be sure to fully explore and address each side to meet the requirements of the task.
task achievement
The ideas presented are clear but could be further developed to show a comprehensive understanding of the topic. Work on expanding your ideas with more detailed explanation and analysis, rather than just stating them.
task achievement
Your examples are relevant but not specific enough to convincingly support your argument. Aim for concrete, detailed evidence that enhances the reader's understanding of your viewpoint and strengthens your overall argument.

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
