4. Online education is becoming more and more popular. Some people claim that e-learning has so many benefits that it will replace face-to-face education soon. Others say that traditional education is irreplaceable. Discuss both views and give your opinion. ( traditional methods of teaching versus the modern ones

Ways of acquiring and gaining knowledge have seen a drastic change over a period of time. Before people used to go to schools and attain knowledge, and now due to many reasons and post covid
students
are attending online education classes. Each of these has its own ups and downs, and later I will give my opinion on
this
topic. In the
first
case scenario,
that is
, were going to school and getting academic training and extracurricular activities.
This
conventional way of procuring knowledge has been going on for ages.
That is
from the olden days when kingdoms were ruled till recent times. Going to schools to secure education is one of the best forms of receiving, as teachers can guide you personally one-on-one and will help you in the areas where you are scoring fewer marks.
For instance
- If you are doing bad in maths, teachers and other
students
can help you easily by showing you where you are going wrong and how to correct them and by giving you easy tricks and tips to reduce those mistakes. In the
second
case scenario,
that is
online schooling and e-learning which has become more popular these days due to covid and many more factors.
This
contemporary method of learning does have its set of own advantages and disadvantages. On the one ,hand the advantage is that the kids might not get affected by the brutal virus which has taken all over the world. They are safe and secure at home. Whilst
on the other hand
not having direct interactions with their peers and mentors can lead to many problems.
For example
- When a student doesn't understand a particular topic or is not getting any sum to solve, the parent might help but the teacher will know how to make a pupil understand it as they have been doing it for a long time. If there is face-to-face teaching it will be easier for both the teacher, as well as, the student. To conclude, I reiterate, stating that due to the covid-19
students
are preferring online or e-learning, as there are chances people whom they care about, might get infected from the deadly disease which has lead to loss of many precious lives,
however
, I would be biased for direct interaction and learning methods as it has been prevailing since old times, as it helps
students
to interact with each other and it will
also
help in the development and shape the personality of children.

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.
