Children who are brought up in families that do not have large amounts of money are better prepared to deal with the problems of adult life than children brought up by wealthy parents. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

In
this
competitive world which we are living in, there are many challenges which come in our way at every turn and only those who have strong will power are ready to face them. I completely agree that children who come from families with low income are more prepared than those who belong to rich families. Working hard from scratch to achieve something and
also
learning new lessons from
life
every time it teaches are the two golden rules which mostly middle-class people follow in their lives.
Firstly
, children who do not inherit anything from their parents know from the start that they have to build their career by themselves and in the process, they work really hard whereas rich kids easily get huge amounts of money without any efforts.
For instance
, Dhirubhai Ambani founder of Reliance Industries came from a poor family,
however
, worked hard-fought the challenges and successfully established a company. Whereas his son Anil Ambani who inherited his property didn'
t
face the difficulties of
life
and received property for free but lost everything in few years as he wasn'
t
competent to run the family business because of lack of preparedness.
Therefore
, one needs to achieve things by themselves and not rely on other efforts.
Secondly
, children who don'
t
have money when they are young usually tend to get involved in works which could help in improving their conditions and in
this
phase they sometimes win and lose, but they learn from both the results for a successful
life
.
For example
, Mr Montex lived a tough
life
because of poverty but eventually overcame all the barriers and was able to create Pen's business after a few losses in its initial phase.
However
, his sons didn'
t
learn from their mistakes and in a few years, the company was forced to shut its operations because of bankruptcy.
Hence
, if one doesn'
t
learn from their mistakes
this
is bound to happen and only those children survive who develop the habit of learning from their mistakes. To conclude, most of the well-established people if we look at their past were from non-wealthy families.
On the contrary
, children who inherited high-value assets from their parents lost everything in a few decades.
Hence
, my opinion of disagreement and the supportive points proves
this
view is correct.

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.
