IELTS Writing Task 2: one-sentence conclusion 
Looking at the conclusions that people wrote below last week's lesson 
(here)
, I noticed that many 
people wrote more than one sentence. 
Remember:

The job of a conclusion is to quickly repeat and summarise your overall response to the question. 

Don't include any detailed reasons or new ideas. 

Your conclusion won't really help or change your score. The main paragraphs are much more 
important. 

One sentence is definitely enough. 

Instead of writing a longer conclusion, use any extra time to check your essay or to improve the main 
body paragraphs. 
So here's my conclusion for last week's essay:
In conclusion, I would argue that people should be free to enjoy extreme sports as long as they 
understand the risks and take the appropriate precautions.

IELTS Writing Advice: use more examples 
I included several good examples in the 
'extreme sports' essay
that I wrote a couple of weeks ago, 
and some of you noticed this. I mentioned: 
- skydiving 
- motor racing 
- mountain climbing 
- base jumping (

- big wave surfing 
- parachuting 
Examples help the reader (the examiner) to follow and understand your ideas. They make your essay 
more interesting, but also more coherent and more persuasive. In fact, examples can really breathe 
life into your writing and help you to get a higher score. So use more of them if you can!
