It is sometimes argued that students should provide
service
 without paying to a
community
 as a school programme. In my opinion，
although
 it may benefit their experience ,it still would be wrong to force them to finish that. The first reason why I disagree with
this
 scheme is considering the element of time.Students have been filled

 will put them under great pressure to ask to provide social
service
 in their spare time.
For example
 ,if they take a social
community
service
 on the weekend or in the weekday evenings，
then
 they will lose their time doing assignments 、reading materials and even doing a normal internship. As to the second reason，I mainly consider it from the purpose and results of
this
 scheme. As we all know, once one thing becomes forced, people usually become resistant to these things because of

 nature. So with compulsory

 of initial motivation ,it will lose the initial effects and meaning，leading to an unsatisfactory result.
For example
，if a student provides a
service
 to some
community
 just in order to finish the task，it is possible that he or she will not have passion and
will not prepare well ，

 a losing frame for the school. In conclusion, I do disagree with the idea of making
community
service
 unpaid and compulsory for school programmes.

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.
