coherence cohesion
Your essay lacks a clear and logical structure, making it somewhat difficult to follow your argument. Try to organize your ideas into clear paragraphs with topic sentences that indicate the main idea of each paragraph. Each paragraph should focus on one main point and offer supporting sentences that are directly linked to that point.
coherence cohesion
The introduction and conclusion are present but could be more effective. The introduction should have a clear thesis statement that outlines the essay's main points, and the conclusion should succinctly summarize the argument without introducing new information.
coherence cohesion
Your main points require further development and support. To strengthen your essay, provide clearer explanations and more elaboration on your points to convincingly convey your argument. Avoid making broad or overly generalized statements without concrete support.
task achievement
You only partially addressed the task. The question asks for the causes of homelessness and measures to solve it, and your response should thoroughly cover both aspects. While you touch on some causes, you fail to address the different measures thoroughly. Develop your argument to cover all parts of the question.
task achievement
Your ideas are somewhat clear but they are not always comprehensive. Aim for clarity by stating your points directly and concisely. Provide detailed explanations where needed, and avoid using examples that are not fully explained or relevant to the prompt.
task achievement
You have provided some relevant examples, such as the Prakerja program and high living expenses, but overall, your essay would benefit from more specific and varied examples that are clearly linked to the points you are making. Use examples to effectively illustrate and strengthen your 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
