task achievement
While your essay effectively discusses the causes and effects of childhood obesity, consider expanding your points and including a stronger conclusion to summarize your arguments. This will make your response more complete.
coherence cohesion
Ensure that each paragraph flows smoothly into the next. Some transitions can feel abrupt, so linking sentences or transitional phrases may improve coherence.
general
Ensure that the terminology used is accurate. For instance, use 'phenomenon' instead of 'phenomenom'. Attention to such details enhances your writing clarity.
task achievement
The essay addresses relevant causes and effects of childhood obesity and provides specific examples to illustrate the points made.
coherence cohesion
Your paragraphs are generally well-structured, with each paragraph focusing on a single idea related to the topic.

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
