Task Achievement
Ensure that both sides of the argument are represented when discussing 'to what extent' you agree or disagree. This essay could benefit from examining more perspectives rather than agreeing 'completely' with just one viewpoint.
Coherence and Cohesion
Incorporate a wider range of linking words to improve the flow between ideas and paragraphs. This will enhance the readability and overall coherence of your essay.
Task Achievement
Use more specific examples and data to strengthen the arguments presented. While the essay makes some valid points, it currently reads more like a series of statements than a well-supported argument.
Coherence and Cohesion
Avoid repetition of ideas and phrases to maintain the reader's interest and show a broader range of vocabulary and expression.
Task Achievement
Avoid overly simplistic statements and consider exploring the counterargument deeply to provide a more nuanced view.
Coherence and Cohesion
Check for subject-verb agreement and other basic grammatical errors to ensure the essay is linguistically accurate.

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.
