Some people believe that it is best to accept a bad situation, such as an unsatisfactory job or shortage of money. Others argue that it is better to try and improve such situations. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

It is believed by some
people
that accepting a bad
situation
such
as an unsatisfactory job or shortage of money is the best, while others disagree and prefer to try and improve
such
situations
instead
of letting it go. In my opinion, I am agreed with the latter view as I think at least trying to improve something, even if the
result
will not be changed, tends to make a person feel better. In the following paragraphs, both of these viewpoints will be discussed in detail before the conclusion is reached. On the
one
hand, it can be argued that staying in an unpleasant
situation
may allow
people
to avoid risks.
This
is because some terrible changes might be created if they decide to make any
further
interaction.
In addition
to the changes, they can worsen the atmosphere and lead that person to lose what they have. To illustrate
this

about a middle-aged man who was laid off from his work due to the Covid-19 pandemic and decided to use his

. At the same time, he lost his

However

On the other hand

or not, will never hurt anyone.
On the contrary

as they at least tried to do something.
For instance
,
one
of my friends failed in physics’ exam, but
instead
of accepting her
result
and sitting with
this
failure, she walked to the teacher and asked him to check her paper again. Surprisingly, the teacher made a mistake in checking her paper. He accidentally skipped
one
question in the answer sheet.
Thus
, the whole answer sheet was ruined.
This
example shows that trying is much better than staying still. In conclusion,
although
those who play safe by accepting the terrible situations they are facing might be able to avoid risks, I believe it is best to put effort and give the best for an improvement while there is still a chance to stand up and take an action.

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.
