Too much emphasis is given to the education of students. More government money should be spent on free-time activities for young people. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, beyond any doubt, the government’s main focus is on students’ education.
However

for young people, as these

can have significant benefits for their physical and mental health. At present, the majority of resources are directed towards academic studies. Schools offer numerous opportunities for learning,

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.
