Coherence and Cohesion
Ensure that the structure of your essay is clear by improving the logical flow between paragraphs. Use transition words effectively to guide the reader between points.
Coherence and Cohesion
Include a clear introduction and conclusion. Make sure that your conclusion summarises the main points discussed and clearly states your opinion.
Task Achievement
Each main point should be developed with clear explanations and more specific examples. Avoid making generic statements without backing them up with detailed support.
Task Achievement
Expand on your ideas to show a comprehensive understanding of the topic. As part of Task Achievement, your ideas should be fully fleshed out and articulated in a manner that displays depth of analysis.
Task Achievement
To increase the relevance and impact of your examples, provide specific instances or case studies that support your points. This will strengthen your arguments and demonstrate an understanding of real-world implications.

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
