Task Achievement

Expand on your ideas and provide specific examples to illustrate your points and strengthen your arguments.

Coherence and Cohesion

Ensure that your essay has a clear structure with well-defined paragraphs. This includes having distinct introduction, body, and conclusion sections with clear topic sentences.

Task Achievement

You have introduced a relevant topic and clearly stated your position on the issue.

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

Rich countries often give money to poorer countries, but it does not solve poverty. Therefore, developed countries should give other types of help to the poor countries rather than financial aid. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
The developed countries such as the United Kingdom, the USA and Canada imparted money to underdeveloped nations to help them out. Certain people believe that it is better to give others measures instead of charity funds. I strongly agree with the statement.

In many countries around the world, rural people are moving to cities, so the population in the countryside is decreasing. Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?
Rural-to-urban migration, in many countries around the world, is leading to a decline in the countryside's population. In my opinion, this constitutes a negative development with far-reaching implications. As rural areas depopulate, the social fabric weakens, vital agricultural practices diminish, and urban centres face overpopulation challenges.
