introduction
The essay should start with a clear introduction statement, addressing the essay question directly. Ensure the thesis statement outlines whether you believe the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or not.
coherence
Use a variety of linking words to improve the flow of the essay and make clear connections between your ideas.
conclusion
End the essay with a strong conclusion that summarizes the main points and clearly states your position regarding the advantages and disadvantages.
paragraphing
Aim for clear paragraphing with each paragraph discussing a separate point. Use topic sentences to introduce the main idea of each paragraph.
examples
Ensure that each point made in support of your argument is accompanied by specific examples or evidence.
developing arguments
The response should be fully developed. This includes providing a thorough explanation of points and incorporating more balanced arguments covering both sides of the issue where possible.
balance of argument
To increase the task achievement score, make sure to discuss both advantages and disadvantages in sufficient detail and conclude on which you believe carries more weight.

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
