task response
The essay partially addresses both views but lacks depth and development. The introduction and conclusion are vague and lack a clear presentation of the writer's opinion. The examples provided are not sufficiently detailed or relevant to fully support the points made.
coherence and cohesion
The essay struggles with coherence and cohesion, resulting in a lack of clear logical structure and organization. The ideas are presented in a confusing manner, and the essay lacks clear progression and linking of ideas.
lexical resource
The essay demonstrates a limited range of vocabulary and lacks variety in expression. There are instances of unclear and awkward phrasing, and the use of vocabulary is repetitive.
grammatical range
There are multiple grammatical errors throughout the essay, including tense inconsistencies, awkward sentence structures, and errors in subject-verb agreement. The lack of grammatical variety and control hinders the clarity and coherence of the essay.

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.
