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 believe that professionals, such as doctors and engineers, should be required to work in the country where they did their training. Others believe they should be free to work in another country if they wish. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
It is believed that for some professions, like engineers or doctors, it should be mandatory to get a job in the country where they studied, while others think that these people should be allowed to choose where they want to work. I agree that people should have the freedom to choose to work in another country. It is true that working in the country where they did their training would ensure that they have the specific competencies needed. However, the level of education in all countries is not the same, and, for that reason, it is necessary to allow people to study in a more advanced country and work in another.

People think that government should increase the cost of fuel for cars and other vehicles to solve environmental problems. Give your opinion.
It is widely believed that one solution to environmental problems would be for governments to raise the price of petrol. While I consider that this might be an effective measure, I would argue that other measures might have an even greater impact.

Some people think that the government should provide free education at every level. However, some say that individuals should pay for their university education. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
While some people suggest the tuition fee for university study should be bared by individuals, since they are expected to have a higher income as a reward, I tend to agree with those who have opposite opinions, since free education for advanced studies could not only minimize the difference between rich people and those in poverty but enhance the competitiveness of a society as a whole.

In the last 20 years, there have been significant developments in the field of information technology IT, for example, the world wide web and communication by E-mail. However, these developments in IT are likely to have more negative effects than positive in the future . To what extent do you agree with this view?
In the modern world, it is undeniable that information technology has developed rapidly over the past two decades, with innovations such as the World Wide Web and email transforming the way people communicate and work. Some people argue that these developments are likely to bring more negative effects than positive ones in the future. However, I largely disagree with this view, as the benefits of information technology continue to outweigh its drawbacks.

Some people believe that professionals, such as doctors and engineers, should be required to work in the country where they did their training. Others believe they should be free to work in another country if they wish. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
