task response
To improve your essay, make sure each paragraph is fully developed with specific examples and explanations. Currently, the ideas are presented but not deeply explored. Try to elaborate more on how technology connects people and provides opportunities for forming communities.
coherence cohesion
Ensure a logical flow of ideas by using appropriate linkers and transitional phrases. This will help the reader follow your argument more easily. In your essay, the ideas are there but some transitions between sentences and paragraphs need to be smoother.
introduction conclusion present
Your essay presents a clear introduction and conclusion, which helps in framing your argument.
complete response
You have addressed both viewpoints of the topic, which shows a balanced approach.

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
