structure
Your ideas are clear, but consider organizing them in separate paragraphs for clearer understanding. For example, give each main problem and its solution its paragraph.
grammar/spelling
Pay attention to grammar and spelling to improve clarity, e.g., 'effforts' should be 'efforts', 'dream to begging' should be 'begin their career'.
examples
Make sure your examples are succinct and directly connected to your main points, e.g., your example about Kenya could be shorter and more directly linked to the problem of overpopulation.
task response
You have addressed both parts of the prompt by identifying problems and suggesting solutions, which shows a good understanding of the task.
task response
Your use of specific examples, such as the one from Kenya, adds value to your essay by providing concrete evidence for your arguments.
coherence
You have made a logical structure in your essay with introduction, main body, and conclusion, which aids reader comprehension.

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
