Coherence & Cohesion
Ensure that each paragraph presents a clear main idea and that ideas flow logically from one to the other. Transitions can be used more effectively to connect sentences and paragraphs, creating a more coherent argument.
Task Achievement
Expand on the main ideas with more detailed examples and explanations. The examples provided are a good start but need to be developed further to show a deeper understanding of the topic and to match the task requirements more closely.

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.
