task response
The essay addresses the topic by discussing the reasons for migration to cities, such as better employment and education opportunities, but does not fully address the problems caused by old towns and cities not being suitable for modern living or solutions to those problems. Try to focus more on the specific problems and solutions related to old city infrastructure.
coherence cohesion
You have introduced the topic and explained why people move to cities, which is a good start. However, the essay lacks a clear structure, including a proper introduction and conclusion that summarize and reiterate the main points. Consider organizing your points into distinct paragraphs for introduction, problems, solutions, and conclusion.
task response
The essay explains the main reasons why people migrate to cities, which is a good foundational point for your discussion.
task response
You have demonstrated an understanding of the topic by referencing employment and education as key factors, which is relevant.

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
