Some say that it is very important to build new
houses
, some think that it is necessary to plant a lot of
trees
. I agree with the second option that planting
trees
 is important for our ecology. On the one hand, many
people
 prefer to have many
houses
 in their city to meet their housing needs. In their opinion, if beautiful and huge buildings are built in our cities, our cities will
also
 develop, and all tourists will come to us. And I think that if the
houses
 are built in the open areas, there will be a lot of problems,
for example
, these
houses
 will be very expensive.
Therefore
, these
people
 encourage the use of open spaces as additional housing zones to close the gap in the market, and city officials convert many indoor open spaces and parks into residential projects.
On the other hand
, planting
trees
 in open areas has many advantages.
First,
when there are many
trees
, these
trees
 create a lot of oxygen and a comfortable environment for
people
. So I think it is better to plant a tree than
this
 huge building.
For example
, in my country, they only build buildings and cut down
trees
. If a green area is opened for recreation, there are many
trees
 and
people
 can breathe fresh air. In conclusion,
although
 some
people
 still agree to build new buildings in open areas, I think that planting
trees
 is very useful and will greatly increase our level of environmental friendliness.

Coherence & Cohesion
It's important to diversify your sentence structures to enhance the readability and complexity of your essay. Consider varying the length and type of sentences to make your argument more dynamic.

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.
