It is true that “Not everything

learned is contained in books.” A person can learn a lot and retain what he learns through experience.

Although

few experts claim that books or formal education are comparatively more constructive and positive approaches. In my opinion, life’s valuable lessons are learnt from experience and so the knowledge gained from experience is more important.

Firstly

Linking Words

, subjects including language, art and drama require students to learn from practical experiences.Though, theories can be taught from books and exams but, how to use the language or perform in front of audiences must be learnt through practice only.

case, candidates must acquire fundamental theories or concepts by reading related journals, books and articles to get jobs in those fields. In conclusion, while there are compelling arguments on both sides, I profoundly believe that individuals learn from both reading and performing different activities to gain the necessary knowledge and skills in life.

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.

There are several factors that motivate people to stay in the workforce, and money is the most important reason/factor. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Most people earn money for various reasons. For some people, they take up jobs in order to keep their lives, and part of people, doing jobs can give them more than money. In my opinion, reasons that encourage people to stay in the work place are not only decent salary but also achievement.

Some people think that competition at work, at school and in daily life is a good thing. Others believe that we should try to cooperate more, rather than competing against each other. * Discuss both these views and give your own opinion
In today's society, competition among people is a more common activity. Some people believe that competition in the workplace, at college, and in daily life is a beneficial activity. Others think that people should try to cooperate more rather than compete with each other. In this essay, I will discuss both views to gain an appropriate understanding, and I will support my opinions with concrete examples.

With the increased global demand in oil and gas, undiscovered areas of the world should be opened up to access more resources. To what extent do you agree?
Due to the growing need for gas and oil,unknown parts of the planet should be discovered in order to have more access to necessary resources. I totally disagree with the given statement as it might cause climate change and habitat problems in the future and there are far more environmentally friendly ways to obtain fuel or energy

Historical objects should be brought back to their country of origin. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
The debate over whether historical objects should be returned to their countries of origin is both complex and contentious. On one hand, proponents argue that repatriating artefacts respects cultural heritage and rights. On the other hand, opponents believe that these objects can serve a broader educational purpose when housed in international institutions. This essay argues that while repatriation is often justified to preserve and honour cultural identity, it must be balanced with considerations of global accessibility and historical context.
