most important of which are sleep deprivation and shortage of adequate concentration.
Children
who are always gripped by

may well be awake after midnight which definitely leads to sleep deprivation.
Also

time
on online apps , they find it difficult to concentrate on their lessons because they are always working on their mobiles or even thinking about the apps they use on a regular basis.

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.
