task achievement
Your essay addresses the topic and presents a clear position, but it would benefit from more specific examples and elaboration on key points. For instance, you could elaborate more on how the high costs of education and living expenses influence people's decisions not to have children.
coherence cohesion
Consider organizing your ideas more effectively. Each paragraph should have a clear main point and stick to it. For example, one paragraph could deal with the financial burden on families, while another could discuss governmental responsibilities. This will make your arguments clearer and more convincing.
introduction conclusion present
Your essay successfully presents an introduction and a conclusion, tackling the subject from both personal and societal perspectives. This is indeed a strong indicator of a well-rounded response.
supported main points
You have used specific examples like your personal family situation to support your arguments, which enhances the reader's understanding and engagement with your 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
