Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 150 words in writing task 1. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long letter will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 160 to 190 words in writing task 1. This will ensure a concise letter and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 20 minutes to write the letter and you need around 5 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long letter in 15 minutes.

There are a controversial perspectives heating up a debate over the fact that whether the authority should make an investment in medical care and the education system. While some hold a strong view that the state ought to bear the financial burden of the healthcare system and schooling, the opposite makes a statement that allocating money to healthcare and education is not the accountability of the government. In my opinion, I would contend that the governors had better cover the cost of the medical system and people’s learning journey but they shouldn’t fully pour money into both mentioned factors.
