Some people think that all teenagers should be required to do unpaid work in their free time to help the local community. They believe this would benefit both the individual teenager and society as a whole. Do you agree or disagree?

It is often argued that the teenagers should contribute to help the community with unpaid
work
, since it would be benefit both. It is a very common thought that
this
type of contribute could help to educate the teenagers.
However
, I strongly disagree with
this
point of view, as I believe that each job should be paid and free
time
is an important resource for the teenagers.
Firstly
of all, a person who works has the right to be paid for their
time
.
This
is because the economic situation is not so good for several families and most of them has already started to
work
to help their family,
such
as pay the bills, pay the rent or the books to study.
For example
, I have started to
work
at the age of 16 years old to buy my scholarly books and help my family with other expenses. Without a job it would be impossible for me to attend the school.
Secondly
, almost all teenagers attend the school.
In other words
,
this
means that grand part of their
time
is dedicated to the study and their free
time
is an important part to improve their mental health and reduce the stress.
For instance
, many doctors think the sports as whole help the students to increase the concentration. To sum up, I think the
work
is an optimal instrument to help our teenagers to understand how works the life and to help them to realize their dreams.

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.
