šŸ“ Many employers believe that good social skills are as important as good qualifications to succeed in a job, so they should employ people who are with good social skills. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, many companies claim that social
skills

 are as essential as formal
qualifications

 when hiring new workers. I partly agree with
this

 view because both elements play different but important roles in the workplace. On the one hand, good social
skills

 help employees work more effectively. In most modern workplaces, people are required to communicate, collaborate and solve problems together. If a worker cannot express ideas clearly or struggles to cooperate with others, their performance may be limited, even if they have strong academic knowledge.
For example

As a result

qualifications

While

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.
