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 today's degree-based society, more and more young people are racing to

in universities, which are seen as symbols of success in their studies.
However
, some argue that universities should only accept

with very excellent academic results,
while
others believe that all

should be given equal opportunities to access academic disciplines.

that admitting only young, academically gifted individuals is unfair to
students
who do poorly in school. The understandable reason is that their achievements in school do not reflect their potential for success in college. It is
therefore
unethical to refuse registration requests by some
students
, especially in
this
society, where formal qualifications are considered more essential than actual experience when recruiting.
Furthermore
, providing higher education opportunities for a high proportion of young people not only opens an equal footing for
students
to have better future career prospects

but
also
helps maintain a diverse community format, where each student is appreciated and rewarded for their abilities.
For example
, a 60-year-old man with a poor memory but still studying hard and having the same amount of knowledge as a college student deserves praise compared to an 18-year-old
university
student. 
However
, in the opposite direction, the benefits will be maximized through numerous arguments and many practical cases.
Firstly
, high school

memory, logical thinking and management skills need to be fostered and study intensively in their areas of aptitude, creating talented citizens who will contribute to their career development of the national economy
as well as
future scientific achievements.
Secondly
, by providing the academy to a limited number of

, professors and teaching assistants can more easily assess

For example
, Vietnam National

of Politics, one of the most prestigious universities in Vietnam, only accepts valedictorians for the national

although
it seems that there are many advantages to admitting all
students

study is only for

who have the necessary health and knowledge to not only ensure the quality of life input earmark but

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.
