cohesion

Some linking words are used to join ideas (First of all, In addition, Therefore).

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

It can be difficult for small local shops to compete with large supermarkets and with on-line shops. How does this affect local communities? What could be done to improve this situation?
Nowadays there is more choice for the consumer than ever before. Large supermarket chains sell products from around the world at rock bottom prices. We are also able to buy anything we desire from the internet and, often, have it delivered the next day. However, this comes at the detriment of small local shops, and our local communities. I would suggest that we need to take measures to address this problem. Large chain store are able to purchase and trade a very large volume of goods and, as a result they can sell goods with a very small profit margin. Likewise, online retailers have comparatively low overheads as they do not have to maintain a shop. This saving is then passed on to the customer in the form of low prices. In comparison, smaller local shops have to sell products at a relatively high price in order to make a profit. Unable to compete, they often face closure. The problem with this is that the community loses it’s sense of identity. It is often these small shops that d...

Government spend a lot of money on public celebrations such as national holidays and public festivals. Some people say that government spend too much on this and that they should use this money on other useful things. Do you agree or disagree ?
It is often believed that the government spends a large amount of money on public celebrations, which should be distributed to other more significant areas. I partially agree with this, for it should provide more money to the poor since a stagnant economy make many people suffer from poverty regardless of the importance of the investment in national celebrations due to their long-term benefits.

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?
In many nations around the world, individuals are moving from rural regions to live in cities and the population in the countryside is declining. I think this is a negative development because it makes cities overcrowded and moving to cities can lead to a negative effect on the climate.
