General
Make sure to proofread your essay for minor language issues such as spelling and grammar errors. Correcting mistakes like "decling" (declining), "accomodations" (accommodations), "nutricious" (nutritious), and "conlclusion" (conclusion) will improve your overall presentation.
Task Achievement
Ensure that your essay’s main points are consistently well-supported with specific examples. While the discussion on Japan provides a strong example, offering additional examples or expanding on the current ones could further strengthen your arguments.
Coherence and Cohesion
Although your essay's logical structure is quite strong, adding more signposting language (e.g., Firstly, Secondly, Moreover) can help enhance clarity for the reader.
Task Achievement
Your essay responds to the task well by addressing both the causes and effects of the declining birth rates in detail.
Coherence and Cohesion
You provide a clear introduction and conclusion that effectively frame your essay.
Task Achievement
The example of Japan is effectively integrated into your argument and adds credibility to your points.

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
