relevant specific examples
Try to use more specific examples to support your points. For instance, mention a specific instance where social media was used to create awareness about an important issue or how it helped someone stay connected with family during a difficult time.
logical structure
Work on ensuring that each paragraph has a clear topic sentence and flows logically from one point to the next. This will help improve the logical structure of your essay.
clear comprehensive ideas
Avoid general statements like "social media is a thing on the internet," and aim for more precise language. This will make your ideas clearer and more compelling.
task achievement
You offered a balanced discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of social media, which shows a good attempt to address both sides of the argument.
introduction conclusion present
Your essay included an introduction and conclusion, which provided a clear framework for your discussion.

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
