coherence cohesion
Consider organizing your essay into clear paragraphs, each with a distinctive main idea that is developed and explained throughout the paragraph. Use connecting words to improve the essay's flow and demonstrate clear logical progression of ideas.
coherence cohesion
Ensure that the introduction presents the topic and your position clearly. The conclusion should effectively summarize the main points without introducing new information. Both the introduction and conclusion need to be concise and contribute to the overall coherence of the essay.
coherence cohesion
Develop the main points of your argument with relevant details and examples. Each main point should be clearly stated and followed by supporting sentences that elaborate on the idea presented.
task achievement
Ensure that your essay fully responds to all parts of the question and that your position is clear throughout the response. It is important to address why children spend hours on their smartphones and to evaluate whether this is a positive or negative development by providing a well-reasoned argument.

Your writing should include clear, comprehensive ideas that are relevant to the prompt. Work on articulating your thoughts more clearly and avoiding repetition or unclear statements. Aim for precision and conciseness in your language.
task achievement
Relevant examples from personal experience or external sources can effectively support your position. Incorporate specific, detailed examples that are directly related to the points you are making in your 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
