person

by his or her external
appearance
Use synonyms
tells a lot about a
person

. Whereas others believe in judging a
person
Use synonyms
based on his or her internal characteristics. As far as I am concerned, I would place my belief in the latter option and I hold the following reasons in its support.
Firstly
Linking Words
, it’s important to consider that we scarcely get any idea about a
person
Use synonyms
based on his peripheral
appearance
Use synonyms
. So, it’s almost impossible to comment about a

true

or

. A

is better known by his

and the deeds he performs.
For example

Hence

it is quite evident we cannot judge a
person

based on their external
appearance

.
Secondly

, a
person

should rest more significance to internal

rather than external

Use synonyms
. By knowing someone closely a

of a

is better to be judged by their

Use synonyms
because it is a better indicator of a someone’s personality.

and

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.
