Expand a bit more on each point to ensure your ideas are fully developed and clear. For instance, provide more detailed examples or elaborate further on the consequences of the advantages and disadvantages.
task achievement
Make sure to maintain a formal tone and avoid colloquial phrases such as 'let’s take low-income families for example.' Try to be more academic in your phrasing.
coherence cohesion
Ensure to proofread your essay for minor spelling and grammatical errors. For example, 'benenificial' should be 'beneficial' and 'conlusion' should be 'conclusion.' Making sure your essay is error-free will help in improving your coherence and cohesion score.
coherence cohesion
Although your essay is well-structured, use more cohesive devices (e.g., 'Moreover', 'Therefore', 'In addition') to link ideas between sentences and paragraphs more clearly.
coherence cohesion
You have included a clear introduction and conclusion which frame the essay well. It’s apparent that you understand the structure of a good essay.
task achievement
Your main points are well-supported with some relevant examples, even if brief. This indicates a good understanding of the essay question and how to address it.
task achievement
The essay remains focused on the topic throughout and addresses both sides of the issue, which is very important for task achievement.

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
