Structure
Try to ensure that your essay has a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Each part should serve its purpose: introduce the topic, explain your points, and conclude your argument effectively.
Linking
Use a range of linking words to connect your ideas better and make your text flow more naturally. Avoid repetition of phrases and aim for variety in your expressions.
Development
Work on developing your ideas more thoroughly with relevant examples and explanations. Each paragraph should clearly convey a main idea and support it with specifics.
Grammar and Punctuation
Pay attention to your grammar and punctuation to avoid confusion. Minor errors can detract from the overall quality of your writing.
Task Response
You have successfully addressed both parts of the prompt in your response, acknowledging the problems and suggesting solutions related to a sedentary lifestyle.
Communication
Your essay communicates your argument across, despite some coherence issues. You've made an effort to explain why people might lead a sedentary lifestyle and proposed governmental actions to counteract it.

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
