introduction
The introduction to your essay is a good start, but it is not clear how you are going to address both views. Make sure your introduction sets up a framework for your discussion, which includes a brief outline of the points you will be covering for both sides of the argument.
body
Your introduction indicates that you will discuss both views and give your own opinion, but you have not actually provided those analyses and opinions in the essay. It is important to develop each point with clear explanations and relevant examples.
conclusion
Your essay needs a conclusion that summarizes the arguments discussed and makes it clear what your opinion is. Restate the prompt in your conclusion and succinctly provide a final thought on the issue.
coherence cohesion
To improve coherence, use a range of linking words and phrases to connect ideas. Cohesion will be improved by organizing and structuring your essay with clear topic sentences at the beginning of each paragraph and by making sure each paragraph flows naturally into the next.

Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately

Linking words are very important in your essay.

To score effectively on your IELTS exam, you should make an effort to implement short concise sentences coupled with linking words.

Almost every sentence in your essay should have a linking word of some sort.

In fact, the only sentences that can omit linking words are your background sentence and thesis.

Linking word examples:

  • firstly
  • secondly
  • thirdly
  • in additional
  • moreover
  • also
  • for example
  • for instance
  • therefore
  • however
  • although
  • even though
  • despite
