To further improve your score, consider enhancing the variety of your sentence structures. Incorporating a range of complex and compound sentences can make your arguments more dynamic.
Task Achievement
Continue to use examples to support your main points as you did here. However, try to ensure that these examples are detailed and directly relevant to the specific idea you are discussing. This will make your argumentation even stronger.
Coherence and Cohesion
Your introduction and conclusion were clear and effectively framed your discussion, which made your position and the structure of your essay easy to follow.

You made good use of examples to support your points, particularly the mention of specific cities like Seoul or Jakarta and the NHS survey. This adds credibility to your arguments.

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.
