Secondly
, cramming so many people into one space causes headaches and other health problems because of the noise.
For example
, I remember having constant headaches during my experience of working in an open space.
Finally
, I believe that doing work in an open place office will critically affect the efficiency of workers
due to
the toxic community of

working environments. I believe that normal
offices
should never be replaced. It is much more beneficial to have a personalised working zone for each employer, where they are not under the pressure of nearby colleagues.
In addition
, working in a normal office environment will significantly increase productivity by eliminating all unnecessary noise. It will
also
make managers' jobs easier by making it easier to find a particular person. If office managers choose normal

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.
