In some countries, marriages are arranged by the parents but in other cases, people choose their own marriage partner. Discuss both systems and state what do you think is better?
Marriage
is a significantly important decision in most people
's lives. Most modern people
have a tendency to choose their spouses by themselves. However
, in some countries, marriage
is arranged by parents
because most parents
are more experienced than their children but it would be better to ask for kids’ opinions on their wedding. Personally, I will consider selecting my own spouse and in this
essay, I will discuss both views.
To start with, in many countries, especially in Asia, arranged marriages commonly occur in their society. Parents
will explore suitable people
to marry with their son or daughter. Due to
parents
’ experiences that much more than their children, they will find people
who are proper. For example
, parents
in many countries in Asia endorse people
who are working as specialists such
as doctors, engineers, lawyers, and so on. Some parents
will select their kids’ spouses based on their expertise because these jobs are more respectful and have a high salary.
In contrast
, some families allow their kids to choose their partner
by kids’ preferences because they believe that marriage
is not only about benefits and appropriateness but love
and understanding are much more important. Moreover
, if two people
build a family without love
it will affect their child. For instance
, some families that marry for their benefit are not bonding with their partner
or their child, thus
, kids are not fulfilled by love
and interest.
Definitely, the main reason that people
must choose their own partner
is lifestyle and compatibility. Personally, I believe that all humans are different and people
must learn to accept differences in other people
, especially people
who become a spouse. If your lifestyle between you and your partner
are completely different you are not fully happy. For example
, you are an introvert and do not like to go to parties but your spouse is an extrovert and always holds parties at home. This
will be a great conflict in the marriage
life. Thus
, I think people
must get to know and spend time with people
who will be their partner
before marriage
to avoid problems that will follow after that.
In summary, I think people
must select their own partner
rather than marry someone their parents
choose. Although
parents
have more experience than their son or daughter, marriage
is about two people
who live together and build another family. Thus
, love
and understanding are more important than appropriateness.Submitted by matty10

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.
