products
 and services, so advertising informs us about the choices we have, and

 the creative industry that employs many

Furthermore

task achievement
While the essay addresses both sides of the argument and provides a clear opinion, it needs more detailed examples and deeper analysis to achieve higher marks.
task achievement
Improve the clarity of ideas by avoiding repetition and ensuring each point is distinctly developed. For example, the first body paragraph mentions several points without much depth.
coherence cohesion
Work on the logical flow within paragraphs. Ensure that each sentence follows logically from the previous one and contributes clearly to the main point of the paragraph.
coherence cohesion
Transitional phrases could be used more effectively to link ideas and arguments, which will improve the cohesion of the essay. For example, phrases like "Furthermore," and "Moreover," are used, but integrating them smoothly can make the text more fluent.
coherence cohesion
Conclude with a stronger summary of the key points discussed to leave a lasting impression. The current conclusion briefly mentions the drawbacks but does not summarize the debate well.
task achievement
The essay offers a balanced view by discussing both sides of the argument, which is essential for a good task response.
coherence cohesion
A clear introduction is provided that sets out the debate and offers the writer's opinion, which is well done.
coherence cohesion
The essay concludes with a clear statement of the writer's opinion, reflecting a structured approach to the task.

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
