Introduction and Conclusion
Your essay could benefit from a clearer introduction and conclusion. Start with a general statement about the topic, then state your thesis. Conclude by summarizing your main points and restating your opinion.
Supporting Arguments
You have mentioned some important points, but it would be better to elaborate more on how public transport helps save money and reduces pollution. Providing specific examples and evidence can strengthen your argument.
Grammar and Sentence Structure
Pay attention to grammatical errors and sentence structure. For instance, 'There are some people believe that prefer to get public transport' can be revised to 'Some people believe that using public transport is preferable.'
Coherence and Transition
Try to avoid repetitive phrases and make sure your essay flows smoothly from one idea to the next. Use proper transition words and phrases to link your ideas cohesively.
Clear Position Statement
You have clearly stated your preference for public transport and provided a couple of reasons to support your viewpoint.
Relevance of Ideas
The ideas presented in your essay are relevant to the topic. You have touched on the benefits of public transport in terms of saving money and reducing pollution, as well as addressing issues like traffic jams.

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
