grammar spelling
Check your grammar and spelling more thoroughly. There are numerous grammatical errors and typos throughout the essay (e.g., 'subsituted', 'bussiness', 'number of peoples nowadays'). Consider proofreading your work or using grammar-checking tools.
logical structure
Enhance the logical structure of your essay. Ensure that each paragraph flows seamlessly into the next and that your arguments are clearly distinguished. Use transition words more effectively to connect your ideas.
introduction
You have introduced the topic and clearly stated your perspective, which sets a good foundation for your essay.
balanced argument
You have identified and discussed both sides of the argument, which is key for a balanced discussion essay.
understanding of question
Your essay demonstrates an understanding of the question and attempts to provide relevant examples and reasoning.

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
