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 companies sponsor sport as a way to advertise themselves. Some people think it is good, while others think there are disadvantagesDiscuss both views and give your opinion
Sponsoring sports games were already common in antique nations, like patrons in gladiator games in the Roman Empire, but the expectation of advertising the sponsorer brand in return became popular in the last decades. The merits are, for instance, companies can reach a wide range of people with sport. On the other hand, demerits include that, they can cancel any time their financial aid, which can ruin a sports group, and also some brands advertise their products with the athletes, which have nothing related to sports sometimes. This essay will discuss the benefits and disadvantages of the statement above.

Which viewpoint do you agree with? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Advertising would introduce to people products that easier their lifestyle or does it just offer new things that may not need? It is a debate these days. I agree with the side of people who consider that ads, commercials on TV or written media provide items with the aim to help to improve people’s lives. This essay will discuss some viewpoints that support how helpful would be advertising.

First of all, he is a good example for all the students who attend his classes and surroundings who might see the way he behaves, furthermore, he is always willing to help parents understand their children's abilities and weaknesses to be addressed. Besides that, he looks after the infrastructure where the lessons have been taken reporting any issues in regards to the administration office when necessary, hence all the community can enjoy a good place to practice their preferred sport.

In the modern era, the relationship between public health and environmental factors has become increasingly evident. While medical advancements have played a crucial role in preventing and treating illnesses, addressing environmental pollution and housing problems is equally imperative.

Air tranport is increasingly used to transport fruits and vegetables to other countries where they cannot be grown or are out of season. Some people say this is good but other believe the use air transport for this purpose is not justified. Discuss both veiws and give your opinion.
In the present climate, air transportation has gained momentum in the food industry. Although some claim that airports can be used in transferring nutrients, many others believe that this approach is not a suitable technique. I hold the latter mindset strongly as other ways can be used.
