Why the conclusion matters in Task 2: The conclusion is your last paragraph. It has three jobs: use a signal phrase, restate your thesis in new words and summarise your main points. It must be short (2–3 sentences) and it must not include a new idea.
❌ In conclusion, another problem is pollution.✅ In conclusion, I firmly believe that free education benefits society.

⚠️ Mistakes to avoid
💡 IELTS tip: Paraphrase your thesis. Do not copy your introduction. Keep the same opinion from start to finish. Do not write In my conclusion or At last. Leave about three minutes for the conclusion. If you are short of time, write one or two clear sentences rather than leaving it out.
