Entertainers have a great role in our society as they usually help to enrich the cultural heritage of it. Some would say that they are getting paid more than they deserve, which according to me, is not a correct statement at all. I would believe that they should be highly paid along with the teachers and social workers .
To begin

with, most of the time these so-called stars, maybe in sports, music or entertainment field, are getting wages as per their own merit, struggle and quality and we
also

consider them as the face of a community. To elaborate, in many cases, someone is considered as famous after their successes in sports or music or in films only,
although
Linking Words
they may start from a very humble background and after going through many failures and constant struggle, they reach the peak of success and we usually don't see it.
Hence
Linking Words
, they actually kind of deserve high salaries.
Moreover
Linking Words
, often many companies are very much enthusiastic to pay a huge sum to them as they want their faces for their own organizations for the sake of publicity and generally, there is nothing wrong with that.
For example
Linking Words
, the world-famous Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar earned a lot in his career and most of them were from sponsorers. Moving on to the other part, there are certain job roles in our community, whom we are needed to pay handsomely namely teachers and social workers. In many countries, teaching is one of the most underpaid jobs in spite of the fact that the teachers are the pillars of any society. On top of that, They often are needed to pay from their own savings for different school equipment which sometimes may cost an arm and the leg which we need to appreciate by paying them enough to live comfortably.
Additionally
Linking Words
, there are social workers, who generally clean our streets and drainage systems, remove garbages and many other things to offer us a healthy life.
Nevertheless
Linking Words
, according to the wage earner's chart, they are at the bottom.
For instance
Linking Words
, in our neighbourhood, the cleaners are getting only 200 rupees in a month which is nothing but a drop in the ocean for having a good lifestyle. To conclude, personally, I believe that there are no problems if celebrities are getting too much, but we should
also

help the other professions. I would suggest that the government should be more enthusiastic to improve the pay scales for the teachers and social workers.

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.
