task achievement
Your essay demonstrates some understanding of the task, with both sides of the issue addressed and an opinion given. However, the ideas could be developed more fully and the position could be made clearer throughout the essay.
task achievement
Work on providing fully elaborated examples to support your points. Your essay brings up different scenarios but doesn't delve deeply enough into how these scenarios specifically affect future outcomes.
coherence cohesion
Your essay has a recognizable structure, but transitions between ideas can be improved. The logical flow from one idea to the next needs to be made clearer with better use of cohesive devices.
coherence cohesion
Ensure your introduction fully sets the stage for the discussion and that your conclusion neatly summarizes your points and restates your opinion. Both elements were present but could be more impactful.
coherence cohesion
Mind the precision of language and grammar. There are errors that could confuse readers or obscure the meaning of your sentences.

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
