grammar
Work on grammatical accuracy, especially with verb tenses and subject-verb agreement. Additionally, take care of spelling errors like 'modren' instead of 'modern' and 'hug' instead of 'huge'.
examples
Provide more specific examples or statistics to support your points. For instance, you could include data on urban pollution levels or health studies comparing urban and rural populations.
cohesive devices
Improve the clarity of transitions between paragraphs. Using more cohesive devices (such as 'furthermore', 'moreover') can help guide the reader through your argument.
balanced view
The essay provides a balanced view by acknowledging both sides of the argument before clearly stating your own stance.
conclusion
The conclusion effectively summarizes the main points discussed in the 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
