due to

This

 essay argues that it is unnecessary to lower the
price

 of pharmaceuticals in many low-income nations because of the
profit

 and funding for future medical
research
Use synonyms
. It is vital to understand that pharmaceutical
companies

 need to maintain their
profit

 to continue operating and manufacturing new medicines. The cost of developing new medicines, including

 and testing, is high.
Consequently

, if a pharmaceutical company cannot manage its

, it could face serious problems
such

 as bankruptcy.
For example
Linking Words
, Medi Cure, once a leading drug company in Vietnam, generously donated a large amount of medicine to some remote villages in South Africa in 2017.
As a result
Linking Words
, Medi Cure's stock declined by 78%, and the company faced a high risk of bankruptcy.
Moreover

, the profits from pharmaceuticals can fund future

 into new medications. High drug prices can provide the necessary funds for developing new treatments and innovations.
For instance

 can invest in

 to find cures for currently incurable diseases
such

 as cancer, HIV, and AIDS.
Therefore

task achievement
The essay provides arguments against reducing the price of pharmaceuticals in poor countries; however, it could benefit from a more balanced discussion. You could include counterarguments (e.g., moral responsibility or alternative solutions such as subsidies).
coherence cohesion
The essay generally maintains a logical structure. However, certain sentences could be connected more smoothly to improve the overall flow. For example, use more transition words like 'furthermore,' 'on the other hand.'
language use
Some language errors, such as 'mataining' instead of 'maintaining' and 'funding for future medical researchs' instead of 'funding for future medical research,' should be corrected.
task achievement
The essay has a clear introduction and conclusion, framing the discussion effectively.
coherence cohesion
Good use of a concrete example (Medi Cure) to illustrate the argument.

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
