task achievement
Your essay effectively addresses the prompt, touching on both sides and providing a clear opinion. To improve, ensure you further explore each point with deeper analysis and a broader range of examples.
coherence & cohesion
You've structured your essay well with a good balance of introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Increase clarity by signposting your arguments more explicitly, guiding the reader through your essay with phrases like 'on one hand', 'on the other hand', etc.
task achievement
To bolster your main points, aim for a variety of detailed examples and data where possible. This could involve citing more specific studies, surveys, or tangible outcomes of e-books versus paper books to support your arguments more convincibly.

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
