The cheaper availability of international transport means that more people are able to travel abroad these days. It is claimed that this is improving understanding among the world’s population. However, others believe it is better to use mass media to find out about more about the world. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Task Achievement
Ensure that you fully address all parts of the task. The question asks you to discuss both views about international transport and mass media, which you have not adequately covered. Instead, your essay focuses on public versus railway transport within a country.
Task Achievement
Clarify and expand your own opinion in relation to the prompt given. Connect your opinion back to the discussion of international travel and its impact on global understanding versus the role of mass media.
Coherence & Cohesion
Work on organizing your essay with clear introductory sentences for each paragraph that signal the topic and how it relates to the question posed. This will help in achieving a more logical flow of ideas and enhance the logical structure of your argument.
Task Achievement
Develop your main points with specific and relevant examples that directly relate to the prompt. While you provided examples, they should be clearly linked to the topic of international transport or mass media's role in improving global understanding.
Coherence & Cohesion
Use cohesive devices more effectively to help the reader follow the argument you are making. While some attempts have been made, there is room for smoother transitions and clearer connections between ideas.
Coherence & Cohesion
Write a conclusion that summarizes the main points of the essay and clearly states your own stance on the issue. Make sure the conclusion relates directly to the discussion in the body of your essay.

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
