Some people say that public libraries are an important public resource and should be free. Others say that they are just a waste of public money. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

logical structure
Ensure that there is a clear introduction, body paragraphs that develop each view separately, followed by a conclusion summarising your position.
introduction conclusion present
The introduction and conclusion are important components of the essay. Make sure to include a distinct introductory paragraph with a thesis statement and a concluding paragraph where you restate your opinion.
supported main points
Elaborate on the main points by providing concrete examples or evidences to strengthen your arguments.
complete response
You have addressed the task partially: the topic is relevant but needs to be fully developed with a balanced discussion of both views and a more defined personal opinion. Provide a clearer comparison of both views.
clear comprehensive ideas
Your ideas are generally clear, but they require further development and clearer connections between them. Aim to include more supporting details.
relevant specific examples
The essay lacks relevant, specific examples to illustrate points. Aim to enhance your arguments by providing concrete examples to substantiate your claims.

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
