structure
Ensure clear paragraphing with an explicit introduction and conclusion. The conclusion lacked a summary of the main points and did not effectively restate the thesis.
development
Develop main points more thoroughly with specific examples to illustrate arguments. While some examples are given, they lack depth and specificity to fully support the claims made.
precision
Avoid overgeneralizing; use more precise statements and language to articulate arguments cohesively.
task response
Present a complete argument by addressing both parts of the question. The essay should discuss not only the influence of advertisements but also measures to protect consumers, which was not fully explored.

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
