structure

Ensure that you have a clear introduction and conclusion in your essay. The current introduction sets the stage but could be more explicitly structured to lead into the main body of the essay effectively.

evidence

Provide specific examples to support your views. Discuss examples of current media platforms and how they compare to traditional newspapers in terms of effectiveness.

development

Ensure full development of ideas. Elaborate on why you believe online media is better than newspapers, perhaps by discussing accessibility, speed, or interactivity.

introduction

The essay clearly introduces the topic and sets the context by acknowledging the debate.

overview

The writer has outlined the two main viewpoints in the discussion, which provides a good basis for further analysis.

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

Good health is one of the most important gifts that a person has. It is argued that the health standard of people is going to decrease in future. I strongly disagree with the notion because in future governments are more alert than now for the nation’s health and by increasing the media usage people would be more informed about their health standards.
