Task response
Ensure that your essay addresses the proposed topic directly. Your response seems to be off-topic, as it discusses sales of Fairtrade-labelled coffee and bananas instead of university students' choice of study subjects.
Coherence and cohesion
Improve your essay's logical structure by clearly organizing ideas into paragraphs with distinct themes. Start with an introduction that presents the topic, followed by body paragraphs that discuss each viewpoint with examples, and conclude with a summary of your perspective.
Coherence and cohesion
Enhance cohesion by using a variety of linking words and phrases to connect ideas and paragraphs more smoothly, ensuring that your essay flows logically from one point to the next.
Task response
Clarify and elaborate on your ideas by providing specific examples and explanations to support each main point, making your argument more persuasive and comprehensive.

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
