Some people believe that in the near future there will be no borders between countries, while others feel that national borders will always remain. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

With the globalisation, people in our modern society more and more travel abroad and it became much easier than ever before thanks to inexpensive

However

although
some think that

argued that removing borders might bring better relationships between countries, which have grudges each other. They think that if we could emigrate to foreign countries more often and more easily, both citizens would be able to have better cultural understandings towards the people from their foreign counterparts, which might strengthen the friendship between nations.

Firstly
, borders are to prevent demographic explosion. If many people from less affluent countries come to richer countries, those richer countries would have a population

, which can give rise to a global demographic unbalance.
Thus

In addition
, another reason that frontiers should be remained is a political reason. The national

Finally
, my strongest argue is that international crimes along the borders. In fact, trafficking of slaves, drugs, adolescent prostitutions and organs are still often practised around the borders, which should be eliminated promptly. Borders, in my opinion, aim to keep tabs on those illegal

activities to protect their own countries and the citizens. In short,
although
some believe that borders should be cleared to respect the human rights and to provide a chance to have better relationships between nations, frontiers

Therefore
, on balance, I wholeheartedly believe that borders must be always kept.

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.
