It has long been a subject of discussion whether entertainment depicting

should be censored or not. In order to see whether the former notion outdoes the latter, we need to look at both sides of the argument and
then

I will give my own opinion that why sensible measured are required for media. On the one

some individuals believe
games

movies

are the major factors of enjoyment. They are

part of one’s social life. One can easily enjoy and spend some quality time with family and friends.
For example

, after a long day at work or school, young ones watch
movies

and play

either with friends or alone.
This

helps them to relax their mind.
Furthermore

, give an insight into the crime and fiction world. People who watch these
movies

not only get to enjoy but
also

educate themselves, by knowing how the criminals work and how to prevent a crime.
Similarly

, children who play violent and military

, have described that they have better knowledge, how the police and military work. Notwithstanding the aforementioned rationalisation,
games

and
movies

which contain

are not without concerns. The primary one stems from the fact that people really get manipulated by
movies

. They use their imaginations and try to apply the same scenario in their real life, which led them to do crimes, inspired by
movies
Use synonyms
. A recent example of
this

was a Philippine thief who planned a heist just like a Netflix series "Money Heist". He was a big fan of that web series.
Moreover

leave a negative impact on adolescents' minds. Since children’s minds are like sponges, it’s easy for them to absorb the information which they see and read, and whenever they come across a similar situation in real life, they behave just like models which they play in
games
Use synonyms
. An example of
this

can be seen in America, on different occasions of the school shootings, children used "Call of Duty" game models and styles. In conclusion, even though these
movies

and
games

are sources of entertainment but their role in spreading

in society is greater because people get the motivation for crimes from them.
Therefore

, these

must be censored to some extent and sensible measures are needed to make them available in public.

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.
