Task Response
Task Response: While you addressed the topic and presented relevant examples, there is room for improvement in fully developing and extending your main points to fully satisfy the task. Consider expanding on how and why shopping as a leisure activity has become prevalent and provide deeper analyses of how this relates to the value of money. Ensure each paragraph effectively contributes to your overall position.
Coherence and Cohesion
Coherence and Cohesion: Your essay demonstrates an attempt to organize ideas and information. However, there are instances where the linking of ideas and paragraphs could be more seamless. Work on using a wider variety of cohesive devices and accurate pronoun referencing to enhance the clarity and flow between your ideas. Additionally, your introduction and conclusion could be more sharply defined to summarise your position and main arguments coherently.

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.
