Task Achievement
For task achievement, ensure that your essay covers all parts of the task. You discussed both views and provided your own opinion, which is good. However, you could enhance your response by balancing the coverage of both views equally. Adding more specific examples to enforce your argument for each viewpoint could further strengthen your essay.
Coherence & Cohesion
In coherence and cohesion, your essay showcases a logical flow of ideas and an adequate usage of transitional phrases. However, refining your paragraphing strategy could elevate the structure further. Each main idea should begin a new paragraph. Using a wider variety of linking words can also increase the sophistication of your writing.
General
For a higher band score, closely integrate your examples with your main points. Ensure each paragraph explicitly supports your thesis and use more diverse vocabulary to express your ideas. Additionally, consider varying sentence structures for a more engaging read.
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.
