coherence cohesion
Your essay presents a logical structure with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. To improve, ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic and that the connection between ideas is smooth with appropriate use of linking words.
coherence cohesion
The essay's main points are generally supported, but some points require further development. Expand on your ideas with more detailed examples and explanations to strengthen your arguments.
task achievement
While you have addressed the topic, your response needs to delve deeper into the implications of newspapers' influence. To achieve a higher score, comprehensively explore both positive and negative situations rather than focusing predominantly on the positive aspects. Offer a balanced argument.
task achievement
Your ideas are clear, but at times they lack depth. Develop your ideas further, providing comprehensive explanations and considering multiple viewpoints. Strive for a more nuanced discussion of the topic.
task achievement
The use of specific examples is somewhat limited and generic. Incorporate more relevant and concrete examples to substantiate your points. Doing so will help the reader understand the real-world impact of newspapers on people's opinions and ideas.

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
