Introduction & Thesis Statement
Ensure a clear and concise introduction that directly addresses the question. You've started well, but refining your thesis statement for clarity and directness can strengthen your argument.
Example & Explanation
Consider expanding your examples with more detailed analysis to strengthen your arguments. Providing deeper insight into how modern buildings serve modern needs more efficiently could enhance your essay.
Grammar & Spelling
Pay attention to minor grammatical errors and spelling mistakes to improve overall readability and professionalism of your essay. For instance, 'undeniablely' should be 'undeniably', 'forcus' should be 'focus', 'bildings' should be 'buildings', and 'ancent' should be 'ancient'.
Cohesion & Flow
A cohesive essay should smoothly transition between paragraphs and ideas. Using transition words or phrases can help guide the reader through your arguments more seamlessly.
Conclusion
In your conclusion, while summarizing your points is good, try to ensure that it echoes back to how it supports your thesis effectively, offering a strong, rounded closure.
Use of Examples
Using specific examples, like the 88 sky deck in Melbourne and the Fuzhong school in China, helps to concrete your arguments and show practical applications of your points.
Balanced Argument
Your essay successfully addresses both sides of the argument before stating your personal standpoint, which shows a well-rounded analysis of the topic.

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
