Task Achievement
While your essay introduces a clear point of view and provides examples to support your arguments, working on developing your ideas more fully could enhance clarity and depth. Try to elaborate on how these examples specifically support your stance.
Coherence & Cohesion
To improve the coherence of your essay, consider using a wider range of linking words and phrases to connect your ideas more smoothly, and pay attention to paragraph structuring to enhance logical flow.
Coherence & Cohesion
Review and vary your sentence structures for a more sophisticated writing style, aiming for a balance between simple and complex sentences. This would not only improve readability but also showcase your language proficiency.
Task Achievement
You have effectively used a mix of general and specific examples to illustrate your points, which strengthens your argument.
Coherence & Cohesion
Your introduction and conclusion are clearly defined, which helps frame your essay effectively.

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.
