, my flight to Dhaka has been suddenly cancelled as the Swiss Government has postponed all international flights until 2nd September because of a recent volcanic eruption in the outskirts of Geneva.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 150 words in writing task 1. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long letter will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 160 to 190 words in writing task 1. This will ensure a concise letter and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 20 minutes to write the letter and you need around 5 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long letter in 15 minutes.

Rich countries often give money to poorer countries, but it does not solve poverty. Therefore, developed countries should give other types of help to the poor countries rather than financial aid. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Poverty is a fundamental problem faced by most countries in the world, especially the developing ones. The developed nations often give them help to solve this problem in the form of money. This pattern of funding has not changed since a long time ago and I think there should be a transformation to resolve poverty by making debts not only in the form of financial, but also non-financial.

Some employers want to be able to contact their staff all the time including holidays. Do you think the advantages of this are more than its disadvantages?
Many employers want to talk with their employees at their convenience at any point in time. Some people think that it is beneficial for the company's growth while some feel the opposite of this, they believe that it is interfering with the personal space of staff members. I do not think the pros and cons outweigh each other. Thus, I would like to take a middle view in the upcoming paragraphs.
