In some countries, people follow the latest fashion and hairstyles. In your opinion, what is influencing this? Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?

In
this
day and age,
people
tend to imitate up-to-date clothes and hairstyles. In my opinion,
this
trend
has two sides and its reasons are mainly celebrity and showing status
First
of all,
people
tend to copy their idols’ styles
such
as outfits and hair.
For example
, in 2002, the football player Ronaldo De Lima cut his bald hair.
Although
it is an ugly style, citizens all over the world followed it and created a global phenomenon at that time.
Secondly
, every individual does not want to be outdated. They always try to become the slave of fashion by buying the newest clothes to show off before posting some beautiful photos on social media.
As a result
,
this
gives them some kind of personal satisfaction and happiness. In terms of development,
this
trend
has 2 sides. Regarding the positive one, clothes shops would receive a huge amount of money whenever there is a late fashion. They bought the fake one at cheap prices and complicated fake skills before selling it again to customers at extremely expensive costs.
In contrast
,
people
may sacrifice many possible things they can do to pursue trends,
such
as borrowing money from their friends or banks as a personal loan In conclusion, I would believe that
this
trend
has 2 sides, profit for shop in terms of benefits and the loss of money from drawbacks.
Besides
, the factors that cause
this
trend
are famous
people
and the desire to show their beauty

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.
