This essay topic was seen in a recent IELTS test in India. Some people think that employers should not care about the way their employees dress, because what matters is the quality of their work. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Sample Band 8 Essay In today’s professional world, there is an ongoing debate about whether companies should focus solely on the quality of work performed rather than how their employees dress. While the quality of an employee’s work is undeniably crucial, I believe that the way employees dress also holds significant importance in many workplace settings. First and foremost, the way employees dress can positively impact the professional image of a company, especially for customer-facing roles or industries where first impressions are crucial, such as finance, law, and hospitality. In such fields, a well-dressed workforce can greatly… Read More »IELTS essay, topic: Employers should not care about the way their employees dress (agree/disagree)

IELTS essay, topic: Parents in many countries leave their young children in the care of others (positive/negative)

This essay topic was seen in a recent IELTS test in India. Parents in many countries leave their young children in the care of others while they go to work. Is this a positive or a negative trend? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
