and there is an increase  in the purchase of items online. It has been said by some that the growth of buying things from the internet will lead to the closure of all shops in towns,
however
, I entirely disagree with
this
statement as I believe that physical stores will never be fazed out.
Firstly
, there is a high risk of buying fake and substandard items when ordering online which is not the case with physical stores as the ability to physically see your purchases is a form of control.The online sellers tend to display high quality and beautiful  items to get the attention of the unsuspecting potential customers and when the products are delivered it turns out to be different from what was ordered.
For example
, a friend of mine ordered a waist trimmer from an online store and when it was delivered, it turned out that the quality of the fabric was completely different from what was displayed online. A complaint was laid to the store and they claimed there was no difference in the items delivered

in the end, her money was not  returned and it turned out to be a waste.
This
would have been totally prevented if she had bought
this
trimmer from a walk in store.
Also
, Shops in towns

catching up on latest gists and having lunch.
For instance
, a cousin of mine recently went to shop for her Prom dress, it was glaring from her pictures and status updates that she had lots of fun as she had set out a whole day with her friends for
this
activity.

Thus
, in my opinion, I disagree with the fact that shops in towns will be closed down in the

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
