task response
The introduction could be more explicit in addressing the topic. Include a clear thesis statement to demonstrate a strong position on the issue.
coherence and cohesion
The logical structure of the essay is adequate, but the use of cohesive devices could be improved to enhance the overall coherence. Make sure to use transitional words and phrases to connect ideas more effectively.
lexical resource
The essay demonstrates a good range of vocabulary, but there is room for improvement in terms of using more sophisticated and precise vocabulary to convey ideas more effectively.
grammatical range
While the essay displays a generally accurate and varied use of grammatical structures, some sentences are awkward or unclear. Work on sentence structure and ensure that complex sentences are used appropriately.

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.
