Coherence & Cohesion
Ensure that your essay has a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. Make the transition between paragraphs smoother by using a variety of cohesive devices.
Coherence & Cohesion
Develop your main points more thoroughly with specific examples and explanations. Each paragraph should center around one clear main idea, supported by detailed evidence or reasoning.
Task Achievement
To fully address the task, it is important to give a balanced discussion of both views and your own opinion. Make sure to explore each view equally before presenting your opinion clearly.
Coherence & Cohesion
Work on the accuracy of language, including spelling, word choice, and grammatical structures, to convey your ideas more effectively and accurately.
Task Achievement
Use more specific and relevant examples to support your points. This will illustrate your arguments and make your essay more convincing.

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
