coherence cohesion
Work on structuring your essay more logically, with clear paragraphs for introduction, body, and conclusion. Your ideas should flow naturally from one to the next.
coherence cohesion
Ensure your introduction and conclusion are clear and directly address the question. Your introduction should clearly state your position, and your conclusion should summarise your main points.
task achievement
Support your main ideas with specific examples. While you've provided some general solutions, incorporating real-world examples or data could strengthen your argument.
task achievement
Focus on developing a wider range of vocabulary and grammar structures. This will make your essay more engaging and demonstrate your language proficiency.
coherence cohesion
Consider proofreading your essay to correct minor spelling and grammar mistakes, such as 'parants' should be 'parents', 'phons' should be 'phones', and maintaining consistent tense throughout.

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
