coherence cohesion
It is essential to ensure that the essay has a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. The introduction should provide a clear overview of the topic and what the essay will discuss.
coherence cohesion
Organize your essay so that each paragraph focuses on a single main point. Use topic sentences to introduce the main idea of each paragraph, and use subsequent sentences to expand on that idea.
coherence cohesion
Transitions and linking phrases are vital to guide the reader through your essay and to show the relationship between your ideas. Make sure to include these between sentences and paragraphs.
task achievement
Your essay should fully address all parts of the task by discussing both advantages and disadvantages. Make sure to dedicate at least one paragraph to each and give equal weight to both sides.
task achievement
Your ideas should be clear and easy to understand. Avoid overly complex sentences and make sure your grammar and vocabulary accurately convey your points.
task achievement
Support your ideas with relevant, specific examples. If you mention a personal example, ensure it is directly related to the topic and provides clear evidence of your point.

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
