Modern forms of communication such as email and messaging have reduced the amount of time people spend seeing their friends. This has had a negative effect on their social lives. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Task Achievement
For task achievement, it's essential to ensure that you provide a complete response to the question prompt. Additionally, your essay should maintain clarity, with comprehensive ideas that are systematically developed and supported with relevant, specific examples. Incorporating these elements effectively will increase your score.
Coherence & Cohesion
Coherence and cohesion are crucial in writing. Your essay should have a logical structure which guides the reader clearly from the introduction to the conclusion. Each paragraph should have a clear main idea and exhibit a range of cohesive devices that enhance readability. To improve your essay, consider planning it more meticulously, ensuring smooth transitions and clear connections between your ideas.

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
