Grammar
Improve grammar and spelling accuracy. Errors like 'shedulle' instead of 'schedule', 'econonomy' instead of 'economy', etc., can be distracting.
Sentence Structure
Work on sentence structures to make them more varied and complex. This will make your arguments clearer and more engaging.
Coherence & Cohesion
Make sure to connect your sentences and paragraphs smoothly. Use cohesive devices effectively to lead the reader through your argument. For example, use transition words like 'therefore', 'in addition', etc.
Task Achievement
Ensure that the main points are explained in a bit more detail to fully develop your argument. Provide slightly more elaborate examples as well.
Grammar
Pay attention to article usage and plurals. Correct usage of 'a', 'an', and 'the' can enhance clarity.
Task Achievement
You have clearly stated your opinion in the introduction and conclusion, which is important for task achievement.
Task Achievement
Good use of specific examples, such as the references to China and South Korea, to support your points.
Coherence and Cohesion
The main points are logically organized and easy to follow.
Task Achievement
Your essay covers both sides of the argument, addressing both economic benefits and social drawbacks, which shows a balanced perspective.

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
