Some people think that formal education should start for children as early as possible. While others think that it should not start until 7 years of age. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

In contemporary society, a significant number of parents start their

is necessary. I strongly believe that learning before 7

argue that in childhood, developing physical ability is more beneficial than learning higher

For example

learning as they do not understand the purpose and importance of studying. once they feel that learning is boring and tiring, they tend to easily give up studying.
On the other hand
, others claim that learning as early as possible is efficient to learn since
children
learn faster than other age groups owing to the absence of mindset. In terms of

, When
people
become older, it is hard to fix their mindset and habits.
For instance
, recent media in Korea reports that nearly 30% of
people
who learned English before 7

Hence
, early

is beneficial.
In addition

need an enormous number of qualities in order to get job opportunities.
Therefore

years
, they would have not suffered from them.

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.
