Structure
Try to ensure your essay has a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. Your essay does provide a structure, but refining the transition between paragraphs to make the progression of ideas smoother would further improve it.
Linking
To enhance the coherence of your essay, consider using a wider range of linking words and phrases to connect ideas more clearly and show contrast between points (e.g., however, on the other hand, furthermore).
Grammar
Be mindful of verb agreement and tense accuracy to improve the overall grammatical quality and clarity of your writing.
Specificity
Examples provided are relevant but try to elaborate more on these by explaining how they specifically support your argument, to add depth to your essay.
Task Response
You have clearly taken a position and consistently argued in favor of it throughout your essay, which is key in responding fully to the task.
Balanced Argument
You've successfully included both sides of the argument, which shows a good understanding of the topic and helps to enrich your essay.

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.
