task achievement

You did a great job of inviting your friend to visit you in Germany, which adds a personal touch to your letter.

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.

Some people think that parents should teach their children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe that school is the best place to learn this. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Some individuals believe that the right place to teach children how to become good citizens is the school, while others argue that parents should be the ones responsible for that. Although parents might influence their children more than anyone else, I believe that educational institutions are more trained and equipped to teach children how to become successful members of the community.

Many people feel it is a waste of money to try to save endangered animal species, for example the tiger or the blue whale. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
As it’s profoundly insisted on by the public, investment in the preservation of endangered mammal habitats is regarded as a waste of income.From my perspective, endangered mammals play a crucial and fundamental role in the ecosystem and protection is regarded as a necessity to keep our biodiversity flowing .On the other hand, the extinction process is a part of the revolution and a natural procedure which is impossible to circumvent.Additionally, the money should be invested in the nourishment of starved African children and in the improvement of educational systems and facilities instead.
