coherence cohesion
To enhance your essay's logical structure, ensure that each main point in your argument is clearly connected and that transitions between points and paragraphs are smooth and logical. Use linking words effectively to guide the reader through your argument.
coherence cohesion
You've included an introduction and conclusion which is good. To improve, your introduction should clearly state your position with respect to the question, and the conclusion should effectively summarize your arguments.
coherence cohesion
While you have touched on the main points of the argument, aim to develop each point with more depth and detail. Expand on your reasoning, and if possible, support your points with more specific evidence or examples.
task achievement
You have addressed the prompt to a certain degree but can improve by offering a more comprehensive exploration of the subject. Make sure your essay fully responds to all parts of the task and reflects a clear position throughout.
task achievement
To improve the clarity and comprehensiveness of your ideas, structure your paragraphs with a clear main idea and develop it fully before moving to the next point. Avoid overgeneralization by providing concrete and detailed information where possible.
task achievement
For a higher score in task achievement, integrate relevant and specific examples that solidify your arguments. These examples should relate directly to the topic and help illustrate your points more convincingly.

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
