A person's worth nowadays seems to be judged according to social status and material possessions. Old-fashioned values, such as honour, kindness and trust, no longer seem important. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

this
modern world is a challenging dilemma. Some

argue that it is based on someone's social status or material possessions,
while
other character values, like kindness, trust and honour are not as significant. I strongly agree with

opinion and
this
essay will explain why. To commence,
people
today are been judged
according to
popularity in social media or economical wealth.

As a result
, internal positive characteristics are been neglected.
Furthermore

whereas
today

vote
according to
the candidate's job or social status.

this
opinion and I believe that the judgment of
people
nowadays is superficial. The cornerstone of solving
this
problem is if society and humans work together to promote and reward the quality of a person starting from the school years.

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.
