Task Achievement
Ensure that your essay clearly addresses the prompt. Although you have mentioned both sides of the argument, your own position could be more clearly stated and justified with stronger arguments and clearer organization throughout the essay.
Coherence and Cohesion
Work on refining the logical flow of your essay. The transition from discussing social programs to tourism could be smoother, and the connection between sentences and paragraphs could be clearer to enhance coherence.
Task Achievement
Try to provide more specific examples and elaborate on your points. For example, explaining how education directly alleviates poverty with detailed examples or data could strengthen your argument.
Coherence and Cohesion
The essay includes an introduction and a conclusion. These elements frame the essay, helping guide the reader.
Task Achievement
You touched on key aspects: the impact of festivals on tourism and revenue and the value of investment in social programs.

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
