IELTS Writing Task 2 : How to write an introduction

I always suggest that for IELTS Writing Task 2, you should keep your introduction short and simple. You should not waste time writing a long introduction; the main body paragraphs are more important.

A good IELTS Writing introduction should have the following:

1. A sentence that introduces the topic

2. A sentence that gives a short, general answer to the question

Here is an example of an IELTS Task 2 question:

As computers are being used more and more in education, there will soon be no role for the teacher in the classroom. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Here is an simple introduction:

It is true that computers have become an essential tool for teachers and students in all areas of education. However, while computers are extremely useful, I do not agree with the idea that they could soon replace teachers completely.
