should we stop watching the news?
It is sometimes claimed that news are of no importance in our lives and watching news is wasteful. To my viewpoint, I take issue on this opinion.
News have variety of benefit on people's life. First of all, it informs people about the social issues that could affect their lives. With awareness of the current state of affair, news readers can be provided with knowledge as well as solution for the issue. For example, during the outbreak of a disease, people who stay up to date with the medical news would be conscious of preventive measures to avoid being infected. In addition, watching and reading news would be conducive to citizens' consciousness of laws. Frequently reading to articles, every member of the society can understand policies more clearly and then they would behave morally and legally.
The absence of news in daily lives can result in some repercussions. Firstly, people who are unaware of social issues might live an isolated life with few relationships as they have almost no connection with the society. Moreover, they would be kept in ignorance of essential skill and information. For instance, if people neglect reports about traffic, possibly they can get involved in traffic violations and accidents.
In conclusion, I must reaffirm that people should pay attention to the news to stay informed and alert to significant events.Holt Educational Consultant - / 14,835 
4783 I take i that you are self-studying for the IELTS test? I believe that this is the case because you did not know about the minimum word requirement for the Task 2 essay. You are required to write no less than 250 words, but no more than 290 words. When I checked the word count for your essay, it appears that you wrote only 224 words. That is way under the word count. You are short by 26 words. Which means you will receive a sizeable percentage deduction for your work.
So aside from the low word count, you also have certain grammar errors in the essay that will also reduce your per criteria scoring. That means, the essay will not be able to achieve a passing band score.
You did not provide the complete prompt for this essay. Had you provided a proper 3-5 sentence paraphrase of the original discussion in the first paragraph, I would have been able to present a better review of your work. Since you did not provide a complete restatement, you will receive an even further reduced TA score. The same problem exists in your concluding paragraph.
Your reasoning paragraphs also need to be developed further in terms of discussion reasons, supporting examples, and additional considerations. The essay is really poorly developed. It is not worthy of a passing score at this point. There are too many failures in your presentation for the essay to be considered for even a passing mark. The math, based on errors, just don't add up to a passing score.
@Holt I took an IELTS course last year in order to improve my writing but it didn't help with task 2. Now I'm self-studying and I'm struggling with it. I have no idea how to give a clear response to the task because I have idea but can't express and develop it, I know a lot of vocabulary but can't use them. Can you give me some advice T.T?
