Some people say that the extended family is not as important now as it once was. Others think that its worth has not changed because people always need help from their family members. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Task Achievement
Be mindful of your introduction and conclusion. Make sure they clearly present your thesis and summarize your argument respectively. An effective strategy is to paraphrase the essay question and clearly state your opinion in the introduction, and then summarize your points and restate your opinion in the conclusion for impact.
Coherence & Cohesion
To improve the logical structure, ensure each paragraph clearly focuses on a single main idea. Use topic sentences to introduce the idea of each paragraph and follow with supporting sentences that develop the idea.
Coherence & Cohesion
To better support your main points, provide more specific examples and evidence. While personal anecdotes are valuable, also consider including broader examples or citing studies/data where relevant to strengthen your argument.
Task Achievement
Re-read your essay to catch and correct repeated words or phrases, as well as any grammatical errors. This will enhance clarity and present a more professional and understandable piece.
Task Achievement
Increase the relevance of your examples by ensuring they directly support the argument or point you're making in the same paragraph. It's crucial that examples are clearly linked to the point for maximum impact and cohesion.

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
