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.

Improvements in health, education and trade are essential for the development of poorer nations. However, the governments of richer nations should take more responsibility for helping the poorer nations in such areas. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
It cannot be denied that growth in areas like medicine, education, and trade is crucial for the upliftment of economically backward societies. Some believe that this assistance must be provided by the affluent nations on a larger scale. I strongly agree with this notion because it will help the poorer countries to come out of the poverty trap and in turn reward the developed countries with added revenue as well as cheap labor.

Many people believe that a country’s wealth is dependant on the health of its citizens. Other people argue that education is a better indicator of a nation’s wealth and well-being. What is your opinion? What are some other factors that contribute to the growth and prosperity of a country?
there are numerous gauges to the country's overall wealth. Some might argue that the citizen's health should be the primary indicator of a country's well-being, while others believe that education is a better measure. Personally, I believe that education is the rightful measure to assess the country's financial state, however, other factors like infrastructure should not be overlooked.

It can be difficult for small local shops to compete with large supermarkets and with on-line shops. How does this affect local communities? What could be done to improve this situation?
Nowadays there is more choice for the consumer than ever before. Large supermarket chains sell products from around the world at rock bottom prices. We are also able to buy anything we desire from the internet and, often, have it delivered the next day. However, this comes at the detriment of small local shops, and our local communities. I would suggest that we need to take measures to address this problem.

Some people believe that professionals, such as doctors and engineers, should be required to work in the country where they did their training. Others believe that they should be free to work in another country if they wish. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
There have been competing views on whether skilled workers should work in the country that trained them. In my opinion, they should be granted freedom of movement in order to achieve their career fulfilment.
