Many people say that universities should only offer places to young students with the highest marks, while others say they should accept people of all ages, even if they did not do well at school. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

In recent years, there has been a growing trend

from my point of view. There are 2 underlying factors behind the increasing demand

, it is still predictable about how much you have to pay for it since the

This
situation will not certainly happen when you rent it as the host can always raise the monthly

, depending on the market or sometimes, his liking.
Moreover

As a result

, which can not be changed by the time they decide to buy it. Another justifiable reason for
this
trend is privacy. You will be your own landlord, in charge of everything in your
home
. Unlike renting one, you can customize your
house
as you see fit, doing whatever you want in it. It is up to you to decide whether everyone can or can not do in your
house
, not any landlord of yours. Due to the reasons above, I believe it is understandable that

.
However
, we should consider our decision thoroughly, specifically our financial situation.
Although
there is a financial benefit as mentioned above, it is inevitable that the
price
of the
house
is insanely high recently. And the more the buying-
house
trend grows, the more
people
are being urged to follow it, even if their financial situation doesn't allow them to.
For instance
, when a couple is about to get married, it is usually traditional for the bride’s family to demand the
groom’s

wedding. If the groom is not able to afford
such
a thing, the newlyweds will end up starting their new married life by paying debts after buying one due to the pressure received from their family.
Thus

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.
