On the other hand

For example
, the streets of
Chinatown
 in Singapore are now filled with malls, train stations, and vendors. In the past,
Chinatown
 used to be a gathering place for the workers who are called the “Coolies”. Obviously,
Chinatown
 is not merely a district to many Singaporeans but
also
 roots that hold their
traditions
 strong. Currently,
Chinatown
 has changed drastically, allowing tourists to visit it easily. As

Chinatown

 than ever, and it can be confidently said that building infrastructure in
such
 places promotes the
tradition
 of Singapore to the outside world. In my opinion, I strongly agree that the only way to save
traditions
 is to build attractions with their influence. Any places that present
traditions
 to others are from the past, and they are rundown. To attract
this
 younger generation, changes are necessary. The government can refurbish the location, bring businesses to the area, and even increase the number of possible transports. With fundamental needs satisfied, tourists visiting will feel extremely welcome and eventually recommend their family and friends over as well. Through
this
 process, I can foresee the influence of the Chinese
tradition
 growing exponentially.

Task Achievement
To improve task achievement, ensure that the introduction more clearly presents the question's topic and your thesis. Expand your conclusion to summarize the discussed points effectively and assert your stance with a more definitive viewpoint.
Coherence & Cohesion
Develop coherent paragraphs with clear topic sentences that connect directly to the thesis. Use a range of linking words and phrases to better connect ideas and paragraphs.

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
