In many countries children are engaged in some kind of paid work.Some people regard this as completely wrong while others consider it as a valuable work experience. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Recently, more teenagers

themselves in employments that yield remunerations, while some of the population are of the opinion that it adds up as appreciable work experience, others view it as totally bad. I,

financial independence.
This
means that children will no longer have to rely solely on their parents or guardians for petty things as they will be able to afford

reducing financial burdens and commitments
such
as university funding on their parents.

that upon graduation, they will be employed and by so doing they have an edge over counterparts who were not previously employed.
On the other hand
, paid employment on adolescents could make them frivolous in their spending.
This
is because unlimited access to money can trigger impulse buying
hence
impaired saving culture, As an instance, a survey carried out in a popular university showed that majority of those students that drive the luxury cars are not those from wealthy backgrounds
instead
those that worked at younger ages while growing up.

this
can make them under-perform in their education. Most times, they have to work while studying and
this
could lead to reduced attention span in matters relating to their studies and

failure as the act of successful multitasking is a very technical one and could lead to misplaced priorities if not failure

one or more of the tasks. In conclusion, the argument of whether children should be employed is valid. It is advisable because it gives the child monetary breakthrough as well as quick progression in career but in my own opinion, it should not be encouraged because it gives room to reckless spending and educational failure. To prevent these, the government can increase child benefits globally.

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.
