It is universally accepted that eating too much sugar has a negative effect on people’s health. Therefore, some believe that the government should control the amount of sugar people consume. Others think that it is the responsibility of an individual to monitor their sugar intake. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

grammar
There are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings in the essay, such as 'who have the responsibility of consuming too much sugar for citizen.' and 'many food companies do not care about the percentage of sugar.' Focus on refining sentence structures and improving grammatical accuracy.
relevance
You provided a variety of reasons and examples, which is great. However, some sentences seem to be repetitive or not directly relevant. For instance, 'For instance, most american children eat 'pop tart''. Try to make sure every point directly supports your argument.
coherence
While the essay is well-organized with clear paragraphs for each view and a conclusion, make sure each paragraph transitions smoothly to the next. Consider using more linking words and phrases to enhance the flow.
introduction
The introduction clearly outlines both perspectives and your opinion, which is good. However, the language could be more concise, and certain phrases could be clearer. For instance, 'the latter views because of intaking sugar is personal choices' could be rephrased for clarity.
content
The essay demonstrates a clear understanding of the topic and provides a balanced discussion from both perspectives before offering your own opinion.
conclusion
Your conclusion reinforces your personal viewpoint while acknowledging the complexity of the issue, which is an effective way to conclude an essay.

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
