In many countries, truancy* is a worrying problem for both parents and educators. What are the causes of truancy, and what may be the effects on the child and the wider community? * truancy = the situation when a child pretends to go to school but in fact goes somewhere else, for example to play unsupervised. The verb is 'to play truant from school.'

Task Achievement
Ensure that your essay addresses all parts of the task. For this topic, you should explicitly discuss the causes of truancy as well as its effects on both the child and the wider community. Providing more specific and varied examples can help illustrate your points more effectively.
Coherence and Cohesion
Clarify your ideas and arguments by organizing them more logically. Use paragraphs effectively to separate different points, ensuring there's a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. This will help make your essay more cohesive and easier to follow.
Task Achievement
Support your main points with specific examples or evidence. While you've mentioned effects like potential imprisonment or illiteracy, delve deeper into how truancy directly contributes to these outcomes. More detailed examples can strengthen your arguments.

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
