Coherence & Cohesion
Ensure a clear logical structure by using linking words and clear paragraphing to guide the reader through the argument effectively. Some arguments are not clearly linked, making the overall structure seem disjointed.
Coherence & Cohesion
The introduction and conclusion are present but could be improved by more explicitly stating the thesis and summarizing main points more effectively.
Coherence & Cohesion
Support your main points with more detailed and developed examples. The current examples are brief and do not deeply explore the implications of the argument.
Task Achievement
Address the task fully by exploring both sides of the argument and clearly stating your position throughout the essay, not only in the conclusion. Some areas of the task were underexplored.
Task Achievement
Develop ideas more fully to show a comprehensive understanding of the topic. Some parts of the essay repeat points rather than developing them.
Task Achievement
Include more relevant and specific examples to support the arguments being made. This could include statistical data, studies or hypothetical scenarios that clearly illustrate the points.

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
