as health appointments and working. From my point of view, I strongly disagree with
this
statement. In the
next
paragraphs, the supporting reasons and actual examples will be outlined in detail.
First
of all, there are many supportive tools to help the community understand other languages at an efficient cost.
For instance
, the Google company showed that since they launched a new invention of google translate, the number of people who struggle in
language
learning decreased significantly. In fact, they used
this
innovation to translate the contents they do not understand at any time. From
this
proof, it is apparent that people may get less serious problems from understanding their non-native languages.
Secondly
, nowadays population can access translation services in any organisation.
For example
, the Local Hospital in Japan has provided a translator service for the foreigners who get an appointment in the clinic.
Therefore
, the foreigners can access any facilities in the hospital easier. From
this
view, it is clear to believe that any
language
dilemma has less occurred because the translation services will be provided more and more. In conclusion, I strongly believe that there are not any serious
language
complications that

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.
