Band 5.5

Some university students want to learn about other subjects in addition to their main subjects. Others believe it is more important to give all their time and attention to studying for a qualification. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

task response
Your introduction clearly presents the two sides of the argument and your thesis statement. However, it would benefit from a clearer expression. For example, 'while an additional subject can be sometimes useful in life' could be rephrased as 'while studying additional subjects can sometimes be beneficial.'
coherence and cohesion
In the body paragraphs, make sure each point is fully developed. Some ideas are introduced but not thoroughly explained, such as the impact on communication skills and the reduced stress from a less packed schedule. Ensure each point is sufficiently supported with examples or further explanation.
coherence and cohesion
Avoid repetition and redundancy. For example, 'double major can have a great positive impact' can be revised to 'pursuing a double major can greatly benefit students'. This refinement will improve the overall coherence and readability of your essay.
coherence and cohesion
Your essay has a clear structure with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. This organization helps to guide the reader through your argument.
task response
You present balanced viewpoints by discussing both the advantages and disadvantages of focusing on a single major versus taking additional subjects.
coherence and cohesion
Your conclusion succinctly summarizes your argument and reinforces your opinion, which helps to leave a strong final impression.

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
