task response
Give a full answer to the question. Your view is clear, but the essay ends in the middle of the second main point. Finish this point and add a short ending that repeats your main view.
task response
Explain more clearly why art money is not wasted. For example, say how museum visitors bring money to local shops, hotels, and workers.
task response
Your examples are on the right topic. Make each example more real and fully explained. You can name a museum, a city, or a kind of art, then show its result.
coherence and cohesion
Your essay has a clear start and two main points. Keep this plan: introduction, first main point, second main point, and ending.
coherence and cohesion
Use simple link words to show the order of ideas, such as “First”, “Also”, “For example”, and “In the end”. Do not use too many link words in one short part.
coherence and cohesion
Make sure every paragraph has one main idea. Start with the main idea, explain it, give an example, and then say why it supports your view.
coherence and cohesion
Some sentences are not complete or clear, such as the final sentence. Check that each sentence has a full idea before you move to the next one.
task response
You clearly state that you disagree with the idea that art money should be spent in other places.
task response
You give two relevant reasons: art can bring in money from visitors, and art can show a country’s culture.
coherence and cohesion
The first main paragraph follows a useful order: main idea, explanation, and example.
coherence and cohesion
Words such as “To begin with”, “For example”, and “Moreover” help the reader follow your ideas.
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
Topic Vocabulary:
  • enriching society
  • promoting cultural understanding
  • development of talent
  • creative industries
  • economic benefits
  • generate revenue
  • cultural heritage
  • identity
  • prioritize spending
  • needs of the majority
