Many people think that painting and music do not directly improve the quality of people. Therefore, governments should not spend too much money on artistic projects. Do you agree or disagree?

It is true that cultural activities
such
as music and painting don't directly affect our lives.
However
, I believe these kinds of activities are very important and governments should invest a good amount of money.

Furthermore
, music can be a good conversation topic. When a famous band releases a new album, everyone talks about it.
For example
, for the young, having common interests like their peers can affect how to communicate and socialize with others.
Therefore
, governments should spend as much money as they spend on other meaningful sectors.
For instance

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.
