task response
Score: 4. The essay is not complete. Most of the main body and the end have blank lines, so the two views and your own view are not fully given.
task response
Write a full main idea for each side. Give one real reason and one clear example for each side.
task response
Make your own view clear. Say if technology mostly helps or mostly hurts social life, and explain why.
task response
Do not use a model with blank parts in the final essay. Every part must answer the question.
coherence and cohesion
Score: 4. The order is good, but the blank lines stop the ideas from joining well.

Use simple links to show how ideas join: “because”, “for example”, “so”, “but”, and “as a result”.
coherence and cohesion
Keep one main idea in each paragraph. Then add a reason and an example before you move to the next idea.
coherence and cohesion
Some lines are hard to follow, such as “its reduced soical interaction” and “lacks in emotional attachedment”. Use short, clear sentences.

The start shows both sides of the topic and says that you will give your view.
coherence and cohesion
You use clear paragraph words such as “Firstly”, “However”, and “To conclude”.
coherence and cohesion
The essay has a clear plan: first view, second view, your view, and end.
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.
