Band 7

Nowadays many people choose to be self-employed, rather than to work for a company or organisation. Why might this be the case? What could be the advantages and disadvantages of being self-employed?

#people #work #company #organisation #be #case
It is widely believed that most
people
 prefer to do their own
business
instead
 of working in an organisation or a company. It is probably because
people
 can do their work as per their interest. In
this
 essay, we will discuss the pros and cons before a conclusion is reached.
Firstly
, self-employed has numerous advantages
such
 as they can do
business
 in a certain area in which they are interested.
For example
, many businessmen in the computer industry have a profitable
business
 as they love their work.
In addition
 to
this
, own
business
 has a respectable position and overall control in it,
such
 as how should be the work environment, dress code, exact investment, marketing, and much more.
On the other hand
, there are chances of risk in own-
business
such
 as the huge amount of investment without knowing the outcome of that.
For instance
, many
people
 hire some employees and take loans from banks to start startups. But they cannot get enough profit to give salaries to their co-workers.
Furthermore
, many
business
 owners cannot take leaves on weekends to make more profits, which may impact their health. In conclusion, it is apparent that businessmen can have more profit rather than doing jobs in different companies. In my opinion, if
people
 have proper talent and knowledge about the
business
 they can make profit out of it,
otherwise
 there is a risk of money as well as health.

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.
