Grammar and Clarity
Carefully proofread for grammatical errors and to ensure clarity in your sentences. For example, "Tourism in many countries have grown" should be "Tourism in many countries has grown".
Vocabulary
Try to use a wider range of vocabulary to avoid repetition and make your essay more engaging. For example, instead of repeatedly using "negatives" or "advantages", you could use synonyms like "drawbacks," "benefits," or "downsides".
Structure
Ensure your essay follows a clear structure. While you have an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion, some paragraphs seem to mix advantages and disadvantages. Try to keep each paragraph focused on a single topic for better clarity.
Supporting Examples
Support your points with more specific examples and details. For instance, instead of saying "tourists may be damaged local sites," provide a specific example of a place where this has happened and explain the consequences.

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.
