Some people believe that companies should manufacture products that last for a long time. Others feel that emphasis should be placed on producing goods that are cheap. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Task Response
To improve your Task Achievement score, ensure that your essay fully addresses all parts of the task. Your essay should clearly discuss both views before presenting your own opinion. Integrate more detailed examples that specifically relate to the advantages and disadvantages of each viewpoint to strengthen your argument.
Coherence and Cohesion
To enhance Coherence and Cohesion, aim for a more structured organization of ideas. Use a wider range of linking words and phrases to smoothly transition between sentences and paragraphs. Ensure that paragraphs are clearly defined, each with a single main idea that is thoroughly developed.

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
