Here I copy one of the essays I recently wrote. If someone has any comments, I will be happy to read them.

Completing university education is thought by some to be the best way to get a good job. On the other hand, other people think that getting experience and developing soft skills is more important.

Discuss both sides and give your opinion


Some people believe that having a university degree is the most important factor for getting a good job. However, others consider first-hand experience and soft skills to be more effective. In my opinion, while developing experience and skills are basic things and can be acquired on the job, I believe completing higher studies is a must for getting professional jobs.

Admittedly, prior experience and having basic skills can be handy for performing effectively the duties of any role, according to some. In other words, people that have carried similar tasks and have developed some basic skills can use their experience to fully apply themselves into their new roles. It is believed that these people could use their past experience and can easily tackle the challenges they face in any organization they join. While these could be important for carrying a job, they are primary elements and can easily be learned on the job by proper training and capacity building programs. For this reason, many companies have now been focusing on training their employees on a few of these basic skills, such as communication, presentation, and report writing.

On the other hand, some people think that the key to get a good job, particularly in a professional area, is to have a university degree, and I completely agree. There is a minimum requirement of at least a bachelor’s degree for practising many professions which are seemed to be many people’s dream jobs. Medicines, science and law are example of those perfect occupations that require a technical degree to pursue a successful career in. The growing number of students attending colleges and universities each year willing to pursue higher studies in these technical also justifies the importance of these professional degrees in setting up a good career.

In conclusion, while there are different views, I believe soft skills and prior work experience are basic elements and can easily be acquired on the job through trainings, however, completing a university degree is extremely vital as it is the minimum requirement to work in different professional fields.
This is a sample essay from IELTS LIZ band 9 for discussion essay. Please try and write a new essay which you haven't read about or attempted earlier. Examiners can easily find out when a copied sentence of band 9 is used in the essay.

I just received my result and the writing once again sucks. Got an overall 8 this time with LRWS - 8,9,7.5,6.5.

I will receive my second exam result the day after tomorrow. I was much satisfied with my writing in the second exam as compared to the first one. Hopefully this time I crack them all.

Good show in Writing. Can you please share one of your written Task 2 essay, that will help us understand how Ielts examiners are marking. I am struggling with writting, though getting 8 in Speaking.

Hello
I’ve only one question, is it realistic to think being able to improve writing score from 5.5 to 7 points in 3 month of study. I mean If i enroll in a regular english class. I ’ve recently scored an overall 6 in ielts.

I would suggest surround yourself with english. Try to speak and listen as much as you can. Moreover, try reading a book by an english author on daily basis. Watch english movies without subtitles, listen to english music. Watch BBC news as much as you can. If you can do all this for next three months, i am sure you will get a 7

Ok guys so here comes my IELTS journey to its end. I finally scored enough to migrate to Canada. My IELTS journey was very tiring and it took me nearly 2 years and 9 attempts to finally get the CLB 9. My score is LRWS 8.5,7,7,7.5. The interesting thing is that I have already booked another IELTS exam which is to be taken tomorrow. I am thinking not to show up as I know writing score will once again go down to 6.5 lolz.
