Structure
Ensure that your essay has a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. The introduction should present the topic and your thesis, the body should develop your arguments with relevant examples, and the conclusion should summarize your main points and restate your opinion.
Cohesion
Use varied linking words and phrases to connect ideas and paragraphs effectively. This will enhance the flow of your essay and help the reader understand the progression of your thoughts.
Development
Develop your main points with specific examples and explanations. This involves going beyond stating your opinion; you should illustrate your views with concrete evidence or personal experiences that are directly related to the topic.
Task Response
Reply directly to the task's question and maintain focus on it throughout your essay. Each paragraph should contribute to showing whether you believe the development is positive or negative, and you should avoid straying off-topic or being vague in your explanations.

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
