Hello b_babaee and welcome to Writefix!
Thanks for your essay, and I hope you can comment on some of the other essays here. Are you taking the IELTS test soon?
Your essay is 254 words long, which is good, but it has a very, very, very scary average of 28 words per sentence. You need to get this down to between 12-15 words. Really.
(You can check average sentence length, word count, and many other useful statistics by using one of the two readability links at the top of this page- this one at read-able.com, or this one at online-utility.org.)
Here’s a 57-word monster you wrote: (almost one quarter of your essay!)
Many person spent several hours daily in Facebook just for finding news about their friend or famous actor or gossiping with friends or sometimes we were searching for a buzz in internet, that take a lot time and at the end we did not earn anything useful just fulfilling our curious sense and also wasting of time.
There are 57 words here, but it basically says:
Many people waste time on Facebook (6 words)
But apart from the problem with length, the agreement errors, the punctuation problems, the word choice errors, the changing subject problems, and the word form errors, there is another big problem with your sentence - much of it is off-topic.
The question asks about news, almost certainly meaning news like CNN or BBC or Al Jazeera or the newspaper, but NOT what our friends had for breakfast or where they went last night.
Yes, I know that’s important news too, but you get the idea. Here’s the question again, just as a reminder:
Some people think news has no connection to people's life, so it is a waste of time to read the news in the newspaper and watch news from TV. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
So ‘gossip among friends’ or ‘searching for a buzz’ would be regarded as off-topic by IELTS examiners.
Have a look at the official descriptors for IELTS Task 2 Writing (public version) here, under Task Response, and look for the words and phrases ‘off-topic’ or ‘tangential’ or ‘addresses task only partially’ or ‘format may be inappropriate.’ You don’t want those bands.
Writing, or Speaking?
Much of your essay is written (I imagine) as you speak.
Nope! Won’t work!
I would imagine that you will get a high mark in speaking in IELTS, but you will be shocked by your writing score. There is a huge difference in the two styles. In Task 2 in Writing in the IELTS you have to write a mix of short and long error-free sentences, using correct punctuation, with clearly expressed and developed ideas and examples logically organized and linked. On-topic, of course.
So you need to start all over again at the beginning: Read more about 3773 layouts here. Have four paragraphs and 20 sentences. Each sentence should be at most 20 words long, and the average should be about 12-15 words. Add some very short sentences to reduce the average and for impact.
Introduction
- One side or situation
- Other side or situation
- Thesis sentence
Body Paragraph 1: one side
- Topic sentence
- Idea 1
- Example 1
- Idea 2
- Example 2
- Idea 3
- Example 3
Body Paragraph 2: other side
- Topic sentence
- Idea 1
- Example 1
- Idea 2
- Example 2
- Idea 3
- Example 3
Conclusion
- Summary of both sides
- Your opinion, a recommendation or advice, a statement about the future
Yes, that’s six ideas in total. You have two ideas:
- Vegetables can kill you if you don't read the news
- Facebook wastes time
And the average sentence length is 12 words, not 28!
Over to you!
I’m not going to fix all the many grammar, punctuation and vocab errors in the essay - here are some highlighted in the monster. I am quite sure that you know these errors. Microsoft Word will also underline all errors in red (spelling) or green (grammar) - if it's not turned on in your computer, check here: How to check your work in Microsoft Word.

Looking forward to seeing your revised version. Remember, writing is not the same as speaking!
