task achievement
Ensure the introduction clearly presents the topic and your stance. While you've done well, make it even clearer by directly stating your position at the beginning to guide the reader.
task achievement
Develop your arguments with more diverse and sophisticated language. While your essay is well-supported, employing a wider range of vocabulary and sentence structures will enhance clarity and engagement.
coherence cohesion
Maintain a clear and logical structure throughout your essay. You've done an excellent job ordering your ideas, but make sure every paragraph flows smoothly to the next with appropriate transition words.
coherence cohesion
In your conclusion, succinctly summarize the main points before stating your opinion. This reaffirms your stance and provides a strong finish to the essay. Though you've concluded well, slightly stricter adherence to this structure might enhance the impact.

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
