Structure
Ensure that your essay has a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Each part should play its specific role, with the introduction presenting the topic and your thesis statement, the body paragraphs discussing each viewpoint and your own opinion, and the conclusion summarizing your arguments and restating your opinion.
Content
Develop your main points with more specific examples and explanations. For both views (older and younger employees), add more detailed examples to support your statements. This will not only make your argument stronger but also help your essay to be more engaging.
Linking
Work on linking your ideas more effectively. Use a variety of linking words and phrases to show connections between your ideas, contrast different views, and lead naturally to your conclusion. This will greatly enhance the coherence and cohesion of your essay.
Task Response
To improve task achievement, ensure that your essay fully responds to all parts of the question. This means discussing both views thoroughly and presenting your own opinion clearly. Make sure your opinion is stated explicitly and is consistent throughout your essay.

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
