, so they believe that the e-learning process has numerous benefits for them.
However
, face-to-face learning has its own advantages which could not be replaced by e-learning. E-learning is easy to
access
but it happens only for those who have internet

and gadgets,
while
not every student has them, especially those who come from rural areas.
Moreover
, traditional

can offer physical activities and be more interactive than e-learning which can make the

Furthermore

traditional learning, teachers have more chances to observe the ability of their

Nevertheless
, face-to-face learning has its own characteristic which cannot be replaced by e-learning.

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.
