grammar
There are several grammatical errors and awkward phrases. For example, 'due to the differences of not only opportunities but also lifestyles' could be rephrased for clarity. Also, phrases like 'promote them to higher positions' could be clearer.
writing style
Try to vary your sentence structures to enhance readability. Many sentences start with similar phrases; incorporating different sentence types can make your essay more engaging.
development
Ensure that all points are fully developed. For example, the point about lifestyles leading to poverty could use more explanation about why these behaviors are more prevalent among poorer individuals.
task response
You have successfully identified and explained two major causes of the widening gap between the rich and the poor.
relevant examples
You provided specific examples to support your points, such as the statistics from the UK and the USA, which help to illustrate your arguments effectively.
structure
Your essay is well-organized with a clear introduction and conclusion, making it easy to follow your line of reasoning.

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
