Chris, thank you enormously for your quite clear explanation of wrting task 2 essay.
You are utterly right about IELTS takers using pretty complex vocabulary as well as structures self-suggestingly assuming that they will bring them high scores (probably that is what is taught by their teachers or tutors).
By the way, I would like to add that most students also attempt really hard to think of very intelligent ideas forgetting (as you mentioned) about its chief purpose which is communication. So the clarity doesn't require super clever points, but relevant ones which will answer the essay question and fit into each other such as lego blocks.
Overall, understanding the question, making a plan and structuring the essay before actually writing a piece are primary necessities to accomplish this task successfully.
One more time, thank you very much, Chris!

Hi Chris, Can you please share feedback on this essay please?

Using a computer every day can have more negative than positive effects on your children.
Do you agree or disagree?

In today’s fast paced world, more and more children are exposed to using computer on a daily basis. Frequent usage of this device appears to have more drawbacks than benefits. While use of computer is merely a necessity to create a competitive edge for younger generation, I completely agree that there could be a negative effect resulting in lack of physical activities and poor eye-sight for children.

Learning to use computer could be a good skill to absorb from the childhood which would help at a later stage in their life, however over usage is not good. Children invest more time playing games on a computer and lacks physical exercise, as a result there is an increase in obesity rate in offspring. For example, a research study conducted in 2017 revealed that approximately 60% of the children did not want to be physically active by playing out-door games, rather their involvement was high in playing video games. Clearly, this explains that if children are often using computer, they could stay away from being fit.

Many children are facing difficulties with vision at a small age due to seeing computer beyond the limit. The amount of brightness and radiation that are produced from the computer is highly dangerous for the eyes, especially at an early stage of life. For example, there is an increased need for school children between the age groups 5 and 15 to wear spectacles due to poor eye-sight. This describes why using computer every-day can be viewed as a negative effect.

In conclusion, although nowadays, there could be a need for youths to adapt to technology and devices, using them regularly can be very harmful to their health and therefore, I strongly agree that there are more disadvantages seen in children using a computer habitually.


Thanks,

[saimahuma]

Thanks a lot Chris!I have a question. In my last exam, my task 2 was about health benefits better in countryside or cities. Discuss both views and give your opinion.I wrote 3 points to support each view and got 6.5, should i give 2 points and mention example yet it was about discussion that's why i added many points. Need your suggestions please?
