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

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Nowadays due to the high crime rate the system of punishment should be changed to deter crime. While some people believe that there should be the same punishment for each type of crime, others claim that the penalty should be considered taking into account the details of individual crime.

Nowadays, whether or not life should be enjoyed has become a common topic for debate these days. Whilst a group opines it is necessary for people to enjoy life, others say tackling other facets of life should be paramount to enjoyment. I agree with the former.

Newspaper is the best way to get the latest information because it has more influence than other forms of media. To what extend do you agree or disagree?
Nowadays it is very common to hear from people that it is hard for them to get sufficient sleep. As a result, they suffer from a lot of physical health problems as well as mental health issues. Therefore, making people aware of the detrimental effects of the lack of sleep and the importance of following the same sleep routine are the most effective solutions.
