structure
Your essay should follow a clear structure, with an introduction stating both views and your opinion, body paragraphs discussing each view with supporting examples, and a clear conclusion summarising your arguments and restating your opinion. Your introduction and conclusion need to be more pronounced and clear to the reader.
support
Work on improving the strength of your argument in each body paragraph by providing specific examples to support each view. Avoid being too general. Use linking words to connect ideas more effectively and make it easy for the reader to follow the logic of your arguments.
task response
Ensure that you complete the task by fully responding to all parts of the prompt. Provide a balanced discussion of both views as well as a conclusion that reflects your own opinion. Include real-life examples or hypothetical scenarios to make your arguments more convincing and comprehensive.

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
