structure
Your essay could benefit from a clearer introduction and conclusion. Try to start your essay with a strong statement that presents the topic and your position (agree or disagree). End your essay with a summarizing conclusion that restates your main points and stance.
coherence
Ensure that each paragraph has a clear main idea and that subsequent sentences support that idea. The use of cohesive devices like linking words and topic sentences can help improve the flow of your essay.
examples
You provided some relevant examples, which is good. However, make sure to fully elaborate on them, explain their importance, and directly link them back to the question to clearly demonstrate their relevance to your argument.
task response
Your essay includes a response to the task, but make sure to address the prompt more completely. In this instance, discussing the other side of the argument (the benefits of space exploration) and then explaining why you believe Earth's issues should take precedence would provide a more balanced task response.

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
