You did a good job introducing both viewpoints in the introduction. However, the phrasing could be clearer. Consider tightening your sentences to avoid ambiguity. For example, rephrase 'The meaning of success has varied ways to say' to 'The concept of success varies among individuals.'
coherence cohesion
Ensure consistency and clarity in your arguments. There are some repetitive phrases and minor grammatical errors that might confuse the reader. For example, instead of 'However, I believe that this does not the actual meaning of success,' you could say 'However, I believe that this is not the actual meaning of success.'

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
