Some people think that to learn a second language well, it is necessary to live in the country where that language is spoken. What is your opinion about this?

Add more variety in sentence structures to avoid repetition and to enhance readability.

Strengthen the conclusion to provide a more compelling summary of the key points. Restate your main arguments and briefly explain why you believe both factors are important.
focus
Good job presenting clear, comprehensive ideas. You maintained a strong focus on the topic throughout.
evidence
Effective use of specific examples, like the mention of Internet classes and budget constraints, which added relevance to your arguments.
structure
Well-organized paragraphs which made your essay easy to follow. You presented both sides of the argument clearly.

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
