These days, a
lot
of
advertisements
encourage
people
to buy unnecessary
things
although
it is not needed. I am going to explain both of

and I am going to give my own perspective on the matter. On the one hand, some
people
agree with
this
question because there are a

This
kind of

to encourage customers to spend money that they do not need.
This
is because most companies want to show only good aspects of their
products
and services for high sales. Some
people
cannot consider the negative sides of a product by seeing these

.

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.
