I
show examples
 completely agree with
this
 statement.
This
 essay will express my point of view in detail. As for the use as an entertainment
source
, today there are many other options more attractive than
books
.
Firstly
, Due to the advance in technology that made it possible for individuals to watch movies and play games on their smartphones. .
For instance
, a recent article published that individuals spend an average of five hours per day on their phones either playing games or using social media.
Secondly
, since life became much more difficult and
people
 need to work more than before so they prefer to spend their free time with friends and family.
As a result
, especially the young public tends to spend all of their leisure time attached to a screen or with lovers.
Additionally
, as a
source
 of knowledge, with the advent of technology,
people
 are glued to their phones because ideas can be easily transmitted via the web within a twinkle of an eye to the entire world.
For example
, if we need
information
 on a particular topic, we only have to Google it and it is available for free.
Thus
,
people
 tend to search for
information
 online rather than spending money on
books
 which are often expensive. In conclusion,
people
 are gradually drifting away from
books
 as a
source
 of
information
 and entertainment.

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.
