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.

Nowadays, some employers think that formal academic qualifications are more important than life experience or personal qualities when they look for new employees. Why is this a case? To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?
In this modern era, there is a tendency for employers to recruit new hirelings who have educational qualifications instead of background skills as well as personal characteristics. This way of thinking is due to the recruiters' strong faith in the university assessment system that can reflect candidates' accomplishments. Nevertheless, this essay disagrees with this view because the newbies without experience may struggle in dealing with customers, and the necessity of real-life experience in fostering cooperation skills.
