Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Reading fiction (such as novels and short stories) is more enjoyable than watching movies. Use specific reasons and examples to explain your position.

Movies
and
books
are entertainment sources for
people
to spend their leisure time. Some
people
love watching
movies
while others enjoy reading
books
. In my opinion, watching
movies
is more fun than reading
stories
. Below are the reasons stated to support my opinion.
Firstly
,
movies
are short,
crisp
Correct word choice
and crisp
show examples
and the story is presented well-formatted with songs, feelings, and actors.
People
can easily relate to the feelings of an artist while seeing them performing
instead
of reading about them.
For instance
, the directors of horror
movies
use horrible sounds to make the audience feel fear.
Therefore
, watching films is preferred over reading
stories
.
Moreover
,
stories
are long and get boring for impatient readers.
For example
, a regional book in Indonesia has a sixty-page long introduction to the main story.
On the other hand
,
movies
are of a specific duration which is two hours. That's why reading novels is not enjoyable for
people
and they love watching
movies
based on those
stories
. To conclude,
people
enjoy watching films over reading
books
as films are shorter, relatable and funny as compared to
books
or novels.

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.
