task response
You have presented a clear stance and addressed the task reasonably well. However, your argument could be strengthened with more detailed explanations and a better balance in discussing both the positive and negative impacts of social media. Try to provide more specific examples to illustrate both sides of the argument clearly.
coherence cohesion
Your essay follows a logical structure, and you have used appropriate linking phrases. However, some transitions between ideas could be smoother, and there are minor grammatical errors that disrupt the flow. Work on connecting your points more clearly and ensuring each paragraph flows naturally into the next. Also, vary your sentence structures to improve readability.
task response
You have clearly stated your position on the topic and attempted to support it with relevant points.
coherence cohesion
The essay is logically structured with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion, making it easy to follow your 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
