Some people believe that it is good to share as much information as possible in scientific research, business and the academic world. Others believe that some information is too important or too valuable to be shared freely. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion
Knowledge
is a definite treasure of human beings that requires time and effort to acquire and enrich, and whether people
should share it with or without charge
becomes controversial, especially data involved in scientific research, business and the academic world
. Some people
advocate spreading valuable knowledge
freely because they believe it would help individuals and societies. However
, I still opine that priceless and crucial information
should only be exchanged with a satisfactory fee.
On the one hand, some people
agree that information
should be given on time without any charge
to be more accessible, assisting intellectual workers to catch up with the fast-changing world
. For instance
, jobs requiring knowledge
continuously updating like those in the field of medicine and healthcare always look for the latest information
and technology so they can apply the best remedy for their patients. Therefore
, they would appreciate every thesis, study and related document opening for free access. Ironically, scientific researches largely depend on available data and previous discoveries, if this
information
is not shared openly with academics and researchers, global progress will become a standstill. Moreover
, world
history witnessed the human race advance dramatically thanks to discoveries and inventions shared widely with the world
as each finding went through profound modifications and enhancements. For example
, information
technology took off the revolution of digital books that are able to be accessed freely and conveniently by the public, facilitating the vigorous development of economic, academic and scientific research.
On the other hand
, sensitive information
in such
strategic and key areas of every country which can potentially be harmful once it is leaked out needs to be scrutinized before opening to the public. Once harnessing the trade market, most entrepreneurs hide secretly their core information
and key factors that take their business off the ground to run successfully from the rivalries as every uncovered piece of data could slaughter all its efforts and achievements. Furthermore
, not all scientific discoveries should be revealed since they can be used for personal benefit via destructive, dangerous and reckless activity. For example
, if the secret of nuclear information
is shared with all nations for scientific purposes, the world
will be pushed to the verge of extinction, sooner or later, despite the inconceivable possibility this
technology possesses to facilitate the citizens. Finally
, the knowledge
that can only be gained by dedicated learners that need the endeavour and the learning progress striking their sweat, blood and tears are the core value to foster one’s capacity and skill. Specifically, scientific professional studies would take enormous years and amounts of money to accomplish with significant results, so the owners have the right to charge
sufficient fees to take a stance for no-free-lunch conception and avoid underestimation of such
valuable knowledge
.
In conclusion, distributing information
free of charge
can afford instant help but is detrimental to society. Although
some people
believe that knowledge
should give as much as possible, I strongly hold my opinion of the opposite. Thus
, people
should be careful to underestimate the power and value of knowledge

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.
