This
 has raised some arguments that the

 should be increased greatly. It might be true that putting the

 limit higher can have some advantages. One of the upsides is that it can support the life of older people longer by giving them more time to fill up their savings.
Nevertheless
, the stakeholders need to consider the health aspect of these elderly communities as well. The
age
 limit was set based on several geriatric considerations.
Thus
, setting the limit higher might badly influence the individual itself, both physically and psychologically.

task achievement
Ensure you address the essay question directly, providing a clear opinion on the topic. Your introduction should clearly state your stance on whether you agree or disagree with raising the retirement age.
task achievement
Develop your arguments by including more relevant, specific examples that support your points. General statements can be strengthened with real-life scenarios, research findings, or comparative analysis.
coherence cohesion
Maintain a logical flow of ideas from one paragraph to the next. Use topic sentences at the beginning of each paragraph to introduce the main idea, and cohesive devices (e.g., furthermore, however, in contrast) to link sentences and paragraphs.
coherence cohesion
Ensure your essay has a clear introductory paragraph that presents the topic and your viewpoint, followed by body paragraphs that delve into your arguments, and a conclusion that summarizes your thoughts and restates your stance.

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
