Write about the following topic: Some people think that it's a good idea to socialise with work colleagues during evenings and weekends. Other people think it's important to keep working life completely separate from social life. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
It is argued that spending leisure
time
with colleagues
is enjoyable, while
others disagree and believe that the time
after work
should totally belong to personal activities without any links to work
. Both sides of the view will be discussed in the following essay along with
the reason why I believe it can be beneficial to hang out with colleagues
using spare time
.
On the one hand, it is reasonable that people
may want to separate their personal life from working conditions, as they can enjoy themselves as much as possible without any pressure. That means they can have enough time
to spend with their loved friends
or family members, which is an

because they can behave in their favourite manner without worrying about the negative expression they may make or potential obstacles they may cause because of their improper words. Remove the comma

For example
, many individuals enjoy to lay on the sofa with their feet put on the table, and they can keep this
gesture before their relatives and close friends

Therefore
, it is quite reasonable that people
may choose to socialise with their close ones after work
without inviting their work
friends
.
On the other hand
, many individuals enjoy spending spare time
with colleagues
for many reasons. The major one is that in this
way, they can foster their connections with their work
partners and benefit their work
performance in the long term. That is
because without intensive pressure and heavy tasks in workplaces, people
can express themselves better and show their actual personalities during leisure time
, leading to a deeper understanding between colleagues
, thereby, they can cooperate with each other in an endeavour after they return to work
, and try to forgive them if others make some mistakes or ignore some detailed tasks, which can develop a greater sense of belonging to the whole team. In addition

provide an opportunity for people
to make new friends
and create valuable memories. For instance
, it has been a culture for employees in Chinese high-tech companies to spend their Friday nights for drinks and alcohols
, which is highly commented on by workers, as they treat it as a special approach to establishing their collaboration relationships with their Fix the agreement mistake

colleagues
.
In conclusion, although
both sides have their merits, I firmly believe that people
should at least spend two hours a month hanging out with their work
friends
during their leisure time
, and I have tried this
before in my last
company, which benefit me and my colleagues
in our cooperated projects and also
make us good friends

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.
