Gone are the days when children dreamed of becoming doctors and nurses – today’s children want to become YouTubers or vloggers. According to a survey of 1,000 children aged six to 17, more than three quarters of them say they’d consider a career in online videos. It is dangerous for kids to aspire to become a YouTube sensation. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The youth are not an exception to that either, the more they see bloggers and their fancy lives, the thirstier they become to be one of them. Suppose you are a teenager and your device is filled with videos that tell you being wealthy needs no hard work or high levels of education. All you need is to be familiar with some applications and how to post online and gain followers. Soon you will be considered rich and popular. With that in mind, most children see no

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.
