Due to the development of technology, some people are concerned that traditional
culture
will be disappeared. Regarding
this
, I strongly agree with
this
assertion, and there are certain reasons.
Firstly
, because of the development of telecommunication skills
that is

such
as the Internet and various electronic devices
such
as laptops and mobile phones, super nations' languages tend to easily reach minor nations through the media.

words that represent their cultures.
Secondly
, as individuals increasingly pursue convenient and rational life, some neglect tradition. Since it is generally acknowledged that traditional
culture
is costly and obsolete, young generations consider that tradition is unreasonable.
For instance
, a survey conducted by the Korea Wedding Foundation has revealed that almost 20% of young couples want to have

one because it is too expensive and unreasonable.
Therefore
, there is no doubt to point out that traditional

will be faded away in the future.

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.
