introduction conclusion present
Your essay fails to present a clear introduction and conclusion. Remember that the introduction should include a restatement of the topic along with a clear outline of what will be discussed. The conclusion should summarize the main points and restate your position or solution clearly.
logical structure
While the essay presents a logical sequence of ideas, the organization could be improved. Consider using more cohesive devices and clearer topic sentences at the beginning of each paragraph to guide the reader through your points more effectively. Making your paragraphing decisions clearer will also enhance the logical structure of your essay.
supported main points
Each main point you mention should be expanded with specific examples and further explanation to fully develop your argument and support your reasons. Avoid making general statements without backing them up with specific details.
clear comprehensive ideas
You addressed the task and provided both causes and solutions. However, to achieve a higher band, expand your ideas more thoroughly and avoid general statements. Make sure each point you make is developed fully with explanations and examples.
relevant specific examples
You did provide relevant examples to some extent, but these were quite general and could be more detailed. Use more specific examples that are directly related to the issue being discussed to demonstrate a clear understanding and to help support your points effectively.
complete response
The response to the task requirements is sufficient, but to improve, remember that every part of the task should be well-represented in your essay. You have included causes and measures, but make sure they are equally developed and more comprehensively explored.

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
