Band 5

Fewer and fewer people today write by hand using a pen or pencil. What are the reasons for this? Is this positive or negative development?

#people #hand #pen #pencil #development
Nowadays, a minority of
people
use
 handwriting. Because many
people
 prefer to write on their smartphone or laptop. Digital technologies increase
people
’s interest and choice. Day by day,
people
 are increasingly abandoning handwriting. There are several reasons for
this
.
Firstly
, writing using technology saves
people
 time.
For example
, modern students
use
 digital technologies for writing. Because we
use
 10 fingers in the typing process. If students spent 2

,
however
 nowadays they could just spend 30 minutes on
this
.
Secondly
, it allows us to write text faster than handwriting.
In addition
, it is very convenient to correct typical writing. Some
people
 debate whether typing is good or bad. I think both situations have their own advantages.
For example
, inspiration comes more in handwriting. Many writers and poets wrote their works in handwriting. But it is
also
 difficult to understand
people
 because their handwriting is different.
Moreover
, many trees are used as raw materials for the production of paper and pencils.
This
 is harmful to the ecosystem. Handwriting has more harm than good.
For
this
 reason, it is not bad that
people
use
 handwriting less. In conclusion, nowadays fewer write by hand using a pen or pencil.Because today the majority of
people
use
 handwriting very little. In my opinion,
this
 saves them time and
this
 is a positive development. It makes the texts understandable to everyone. So it is useful for
people
.

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.
