Your introduction states the main ideas but could be clearer. Make sure to define each side in a simple way.

Coherence and Cohesion

Try to organize your paragraphs better. Make sure each paragraph has one clear main idea.

Task Achievement

Add more specific examples to support your points, like mentioning real places or consequences of building without rules.

Coherence and Cohesion

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

People nowadays work hard to buy more things. This has made our lives generally more comfortable but traditional values & customs have been lost & this is a pity. To what extend do you agree.
In today’s consumer-driven society, individuals work tirelessly to afford a more comfortable lifestyle. While this has undeniably improved living standards, it has also led to the gradual erosion of traditional values and customs. In my opinion, although material progress brings undeniable benefits, the loss of cultural heritage is a significant drawback that should not be overlooked.
