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.

Young people are often influenced in their behaviors and situations by others in the same age. This is called “peer pressure”. Do the advantages of peer pressure outweigh the disadvantages?
Many are of the opinion that teenagers are easily affected in their behaviours and circumstances by their peers who are mostly in the same age group, which can be seen as a peer culture. Although there would be partly positives with children developing themselves academically and emotionally, the downsides are greater than the advantages given that friends convince each other to commit crimes.

Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programs (for example working on charity, teaching sport to younger people) To what extent do you agree or disagree?
In today’s society, people’s perspectives on education have shown significant divergence. Therefore, the question of whether high schools should include a compulsory curriculum for free community service, such as working in a charity, helping the neighbourhood, or mentoring younger children, has become a matter of considerable debate. From my perspective, I agree with the viewpoint that students should engage in volunteer campaigns as these can bring about numerous benefits to them.
