Band 3

Some countries achieve international sports by building specialised facilities to train top athletes, instead of providing sports facilities that everyone can use. Do you think this is positive or negative development? Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Task Response
To improve task response, ensure you fully develop both sides of the argument and provide a more nuanced personal opinion, supported by specific examples. A more balanced and detailed exploration of both views will enhance your score.
Coherence and Cohesion
For better coherence and cohesion, focus on the flow of ideas throughout the essay. Your arguments should be more structured, with clear paragraph breaks and topic sentences. Additionally, linking words should be used effectively to connect ideas within and across paragraphs.
Language Proficiency
Avoid incomplete sentences and ensure your essay is thoroughly proofread to eliminate grammatical errors and unclear expressions. Substantiate your points with specific, relevant examples and ensure that all claims are fully developed and explained.

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
