movement while
also
evaluating if the advantages associated with the current trend outweigh the potential problems. There are several reasons why the young generation of today is moving from rural
areas
to big
cities
for their study and work.

public transport, roads, schools, colleges, hospitals, offices, restaurants, entertainment, etc., which attracts the

Furthermore

will skyrocket in the city
areas
due to

huge influx of people as compared to the shortage of supply.
This
can be exemplified by the outcome of a recent survey that showed the disparity between the cost of a 2 BHK apartment in Mumbai vs a small town in Thane.
In addition
, the cost of living
also
goes up with everything in a city being much more expensive. In conclusion, I believe that from an individual standpoint there are

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.
