task
While the essay does provide a clear thesis and addresses both sides of the argument, some points need more detailed explanation or clearer links to the main argument. For example, the mention of COVID-19 could be expanded to show concrete connections to broader social issues.
coherence
The logical flow of the essay could be improved by making transitions between ideas smoother. At times, the argument jumps without clear connections, which can confuse the reader. Consider using more linking words and phrases to enhance the flow.
coherence
Some main points in the essay are not fully supported with specific evidence. While the essay mentions unemployment and crime, providing actual statistics or specific examples could strengthen the argument.
coherence
The essay has a clear structure, with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. This helps in making the argument understandable.
task
The use of examples such as the impact of COVID-19 on society and the costs of space research helps to ground the discussion in real-world issues.
coherence
The introduction concisely presents the argument and the conclusion effectively summarizes the main points discussed in the essay.

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
