task response
Your response addresses the task well, but it could benefit from more specific examples and details to fully support your points. For instance, identifying some specific venues that will be replaced or added would provide clearer context.
coherence cohesion
The essay has a logical structure, but the introduction and conclusion could be more distinct. Consider adding a conclusion to summarize the changes and their potential impact on the town.

There are some minor grammatical and lexical inaccuracies, such as 'the maps indicate how it is now and plans for its enhancement' which should be 'the maps indicate its current state and future development plans'. Focus on refining these to improve clarity and correctness.

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
