Band 5.5

Some people believe that reading is always a good habit. Others feel it depends on which books a person is reading. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

Undeniably, reading is a good thing to do even though some
people
 argue that not all
books
 are good to read.
While
 it seems to be true, I hold the view that
people
 should consider
books
 to read. Admittedly, there are several reasons why reading is a good habit.
Firstly
, it will develop reading skills and a clear understanding of context which is needed for all individuals. It
also
 helps
people
 to stay focused on something and improve their brain by remembering the words from the text.
For instance
, some kids who read the A-Z
books
, easily remember the words and spell them correctly. Despite the above arguments, in my eyes,
people
 should consider which
books
 to read.
For example
, a majority of young
people
 desire to read comic
books
 or cartoon
books
 but the problem is these kinds of
books
 will not improve the skills of education and will develop young
people
’s emotions which might be harmful.
Consequently
, consider the type of
books
 that should be prioritized first and enhance a habit later. In conclusion, it is generally believed that
people
 who read
books
 more will have more benefits and good memory
while
 others think some
books
 have a negative effect on readers. I believe that reading
books
 can give
people
 a great view
however
, there are forbidden
books
 which may be dangerous to the reader so they must consider which
books
 are suitable for them

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.
