task achievement
Your essay presents a clear position on risk-taking, offering both sides of the argument before coming to a conclusion. However, more explicit examples and details could strengthen your argument and increase the relevance of your examples to the points being made.
coherence cohesion
Your essay has a good logical structure, with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. However, transitions between paragraphs could be smoother to aid in the flow of ideas. Moreover, you might want to expand on some ideas with more details to support your main points further.
advice
To enhance your essay's coherence and cohesion, consider using a wider range of linking phrases and topic sentences at the beginning of paragraphs. This would not only clarify the main idea of each paragraph but also improve the overall flow of your argument.

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
