universities there should be equal proportions of both men and women in each subject. In my opinion, I do not agree with
this
Linking Words
statement and will explain the reasons below.
To begin
Linking Words
with, if universities start to admit an equal number of both genders in each subject
then
Linking Words
it will be difficult for the universities to fill all seats as some courses are more popular in one gender and some are in another.
For example
Linking Words
, girls will be more interested in taking nursing courses while boys will be more interested in courses related to gaming.
Secondly
Linking Words
, the major drawback of setting the proportion for each gender is to ruin the merit. People who are more capable will not be able to get the course which they want because of less number of seats.
Moreover
Linking Words
, setting the proportion will
also
Linking Words
ruin the competition.
For instance
Linking Words
, a mediocre boy will be competing against a highly intelligent girl in a nursing course. To conclude, women should have equal rights and opportunities but to set an equal proportion is not right because it will ruin the competition and merit.

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.
