Many people nowadays see a counselor or therapist to improve their mental health. Some feel, however, that this is unnecessary. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

grammar
Improve the grammar and spelling. For example, 'unworthful' should be 'worthless', 'theraphic' should be 'therapeutic', 'councling' to 'counseling', 'lets' should be 'let’s', 'fit to some extant' should be 'fit to some extent', 'sorroundings' should be 'surroundings', 'clearify' should be 'clarify', and 'crucial' instead of 'curical'.
clarity
Make sure to clearly differentiate between your own opinion and the viewpoints you discuss. Add a more specific conclusion summarizing the main points and reiterating your stance clearly.
coherence
To increase coherence, use more transitional phrases to connect ideas smoothly. For instance, 'Furthermore', 'In addition', and 'On the other hand' can help link thoughts.
supporting points
You have provided relevant examples to support your points, which strengthens your argument.
structure
The introduction and conclusion effectively frame the essay.
balance
The essay covers both viewpoints, which is essential for a balanced discussion.

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
