Task Achievement
For task achievement, ensure that you address all elements of the prompt. While you did summarize the changes, more detail could have been included to fully represent the comparison between the park in 1920 and today.
Coherence and Cohesion
Your response shows some organization but could benefit from clearer logical structuring. Linking phrases and topic sentences should be used to guide the reader seamlessly from one point to the next.
Task Achievement
To support your main points, provide clear examples and elaborate on them. Use specific details wherever possible to enrich the description and comparison between the old and new park plans.

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
