task achievement
Your essay does address both sides of the discussion, but it could be improved by offering more balanced arguments. Currently, more emphasis is placed on the employment aspect of education, and the counterargument about personal development is weaker in comparison. A more equal distribution of points would enhance the argument.
coherence cohesion
To improve coherence, ensure that each paragraph flows more smoothly into the next. Using transition words and phrases can help with this. Additionally, ensure that all points in a single paragraph are directly related to the topic sentence of that paragraph.
coherence cohesion
The essay could benefit from clearer topic sentences for each paragraph. For example, the second paragraph could start with a sentence clearly indicating that it is discussing the perspective that education should prepare students for employment. This will guide the reader and improve clarity.
introduction conclusion present
Your introduction effectively outlines the two sides of the debate, which prepares the reader for what to expect in the body of the essay.
supported main points
You provided specific examples, such as the one about Bob Mark, which helps to illustrate your points and makes your argument more concrete.
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.
