Coherence & Cohesion
Your essay is quite well-structured, but make sure every paragraph has a clear central idea. For example, the second paragraph discusses two different points (people from rural areas vs. urban areas) which might be better separated.
Task Achievement
While the essay has some relevant examples, further development and specificity could improve the strength of your arguments. Try to add more detailed examples to support your points.
Task Achievement
Ensure all elements of the prompt are fully addressed. For instance, you could expand more on what success means to different people with a few more diverse examples.
Coherence & Cohesion
Your introduction sets the context well and clearly states the topic. This provides a good opening for the essay.
Task Achievement
You navigate between different viewpoints effectively, showing a balanced understanding of how success can vary between individuals.

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
