task achievement
Your response would benefit from more specific examples to support your points. For example, you could mention specific roles or industries where working in a large company might offer concrete advantages (like better training programs or international experience).
task achievement
Ensure that your arguments are balanced. You mainly focused on the disadvantages of working in a large company and the advantages of working in a small company, which could give a biased perspective. Including more balanced viewpoints will make your essay more comprehensive.
coherence cohesion
Work on connecting your ideas more fluidly. Sometimes, the transition between sentences and paragraphs feels abrupt. Consider using transition words and phrases to better link your ideas.
coherence cohesion
Your essay would benefit from a more structured format. Try following the PEEL (Point, Evidence, Explanation, Link) method to ensure each paragraph has a clear structure and supports your main thesis.

coherence cohesion
You provided a clear conclusion, summarizing your main points and stating your personal opinion, which nicely rounds off 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
