With growing population in cities, more and more people live in a home with small or no outdoor areas. Is it a positive or negative development?

In
this
day and age, people are pouring into high-density cities,
thus
leading to the diminishment of living quarters and outdoor spaces. From my perspective,
this
is undoubtedly a negative development for several reasons.
To begin
with, sharing a small apartment with other family members means that privacy can easily be violated.
This
is
due to
the fact that
while
living under a small roof, people need to share their personal space with other members or use the same room for several purposes,
for example
, the bedroom can
also
be utilized as a dressing room and storage.
This
can lead to several awkward situations that can be avoided with ease had the accommodation been bigger.
Moreover
, the lack of outdoor spaces can lead to depression and laziness. Kids who are being constrained in a limited area will not have much chance to interact with their peers,
thus
can lead to depression, and longtime exposure to
this
environment can result in laziness, since children,
as well as
,adults are used to the inactive lifestyle.
Last
but not least, as citizens flock to big cities, the price to acquire real estate will soar, since the supply is not sufficient enough to meet the demand of society

and become a financial obstacle for young adults.
For instance
, the housing price in Hanoi in the same location would become two, even three times compared to the
last
years, and the closer to the city centre, the higher the cost. That being said, renting or purchasing a smaller apartment seems to be more economical, as homeowners can reserve money for other purposes.

a larger house could be the solution to solve these issues. Taking a garden as an example, it can provide a playground for kids,
thus
enhancing their immune systems and helping grown-ups to release stress and mend their souls. In conclusion, a modest accommodation can be beneficial in terms of finance,
nevertheless
, it has detrimental effects on other aspects of life,
such
as a healthy lifestyle and privacy.
Therefore
, choosing a big city to settle in is not always the best idea, and humans should base it on their personal situations to make the right decision.

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.
