task achievement

Expand on your points with more details and examples. Specifically, include real-life scenarios or anecdotes that illustrate the importance of both life skills and traditional academics.

coherence and cohesion

Enhance the logical flow between your ideas by using linking phrases and transitions more effectively. This would help your essay read more smoothly and make your arguments clearer.

coherence and cohesion

Ensure that your essay concludes by summarizing your main points and restating your position clearly to reinforce your argument.

task achievement

Your argument presents a clear opinion on the topic and distinguishes between life skills and traditional academics, which provides a solid foundation for your essay.

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

There is a widely held agreement regarding the usage of punitive methods in nurturing children. However, I tend to find myself in strong agreement with those who believe children should be able to distinguish right from wrong in the early years of life.

One school of thought instead of watching the event on television, watching a live performance is more enjoyable. The writer of this essay strongly agrees with this notion as not only atmosphere and immersion but also supporting artists and athletes.

The position of women has changed a great deal in many societies over the past 50 years. But these societies cannot claim to have achieved gender equality. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Over half a century, the status of women in society has been changing rapidly; however, communities cannot substantiate the achievement of gender equality. While many groups of people favour this viewpoint, I argue that legal implications, more job opportunities and the right to get education provided by the government in many countries to support the female category prove that there is no discrimination on gender basis.
