Some people think that parents should teach their children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe that school is the best place to learn this. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

specific examples
Try to refine your examples to make them more specific and illustrative of your points. For instance, instead of saying that experts are used to design curricula, you could provide a specific example or case study from a certain country.
language
Work on diversifying your vocabulary and sentence structures to make your essay more engaging and to avoid repetition. This will also help in better conveying your ideas and arguments.
clarity of ideas
While your introduction and conclusion are clear, you might consider making your stance a bit more explicit in the thesis statement. This will leave no room for ambiguity and strengthen the overall argument.
task response
You have a clear and consistent argument throughout the essay, and your ideas support your viewpoint effectively.
coherence
Your essay structure is logical, with distinct paragraphs addressing different points of view followed by a conclusion.
introduction conclusion
The introduction and conclusion are well-formulated, providing a good starting point and a clear summary of your stance.

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
