Structure
Try structuring your main points more clearly within your paragraphs. This can help make your arguments more persuasive and easier to follow.
Content
Include more specific examples to support your arguments. While you've provided a general discussion, detailed examples add depth and strength to your points.
Grammar
Watch out for minor grammatical errors and inconsistencies in tense usage. These small mistakes can distract from your overall message, even if they're infrequent.
Cohesion
To further improve coherence, consider transitioning more smoothly between ideas. Using phrases that link sentences and paragraphs can enhance the flow of your essay.
Introduction/Conclusion
Your essay includes a clear introduction and conclusion, effectively framing your discussion.
Understanding
You've demonstrated a good understanding of the topic by discussing both sides of the argument before giving your own opinion.
Engagement
Your essay reflects a good attempt to engage with the task, offering a balanced view and personal insights, which enriches the discussion.

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
