Task Achievement
Make sure your essay addresses both the advantages and disadvantages of living with parents and living away while studying at university. Your essay discusses the disadvantages of living with parents and advantages of living away, but does not fully explore the advantages of living with parents.
Coherence and Cohesion
Use a clear and logical structure in your essay. Your introduction should present the topic and outline the main points that will be discussed. Each paragraph should have a clear main idea and be elaborated upon with supporting details.
Coherence and Cohesion
In your conclusion, ensure that you summarize the main points of your argument and clearly state your position. The essay should leave the reader with a final thought that reflects the content and viewpoint expressed in the body.

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
