A person’s worth nowadays seems to be judged according to social status and material possessions. Old-fashioned values, such as honour, kindness and trust, no longer seem important. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

I strongly disagree with the statement that says for an individual to be worthy in the society these days, lifestyle and possessions are measured,
while values, and
Suggestion
and values, while
morals are found inestimable. A number of arguments support my opinion.
To begin
with, socio-cultural stability of some people is achieved mainly to deceive the populace. Wealth and fame do not define whom a person is, but the life's that are touched, helped and respected.
Besides
, many that claim to be socially stable are only deceiving the majority because it is what the societal need, and not stand to be emulated by young ones, or those that are striving hard to make it.
For example
; most celebrities live a fake life just to impress others.
Therefore
, using social level and properties are not a good critic for value. What is more, it is imperative for someone that posses respect, cultural background, and good conduct before tagging worthy.
This
attribute will not only be counted as fruit that should be found in one, but
also
will it be enraptured by everyone. More specifically, it is a plausible act to imitate. To illustrate, the president of Nigeria was voted for because his wife labelled well trained. So, I think anyone that encapsulates these acts should be enlisted as worthy. To sum up,
although
being economically known is awesome, value, and morals are incomparable.
Hence
, I completely disagree with being judged by status.

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.
