Sample Essay
In schools and workplaces, some people put in more effort than others. I believe this is because of the inequality that exists in today’s society, and those who work too hard may have regrets in life.
People are not all born equal. Black people are usually perceived as less intelligent and competent than white people. Thus, a black person with equivalent skills has to work much harder than a white person to climb the corporate ladder. Also, disadvantaged children have to study much harder than privileged children to earn the same educational opportunities. For example, Ivanka Trump was able to study at the Wharton School of Finance without the usual academic qualifications because her father is rich and famous. However, if kids from low-income families want to get into that same college, they have to study extremely hard to meet the scholarship standards because there is no way their parents could afford such an expensive private school.
However, overwork can lead to regrets later in life. In general, people work hard not only for themselves but also for their loved ones. They want to get their kids good educations, they want to buy bigger houses for their families. However, often what their loved ones want is simply more time together, which is hard to achieve when people work more than ten hours a day. Once their kids are grown-ups and their parents passed away, they cannot get those years back anymore. All they can do is regret having put career before family.
In conclusion, disparities in education and employment are the main reason why in these two sectors some people have to work harder than others. However, this is not always a good thing because it can cause regrets later in life. (292 Words)

madam how can i will feed back the essay answers .
Below is my answer. Could you please check and provide feedback with the band score.
Some people put extra effort than others into workplaces and educational institutions. I believe this is due to the pressure of the mounted competition and motivation to cut the chain of inherited family poverty.
Cutthroat competition in both the sectors in work and education pressurized individuals to go an extra mile to provide a better life to their family, at least fulfilling their primary needs which comprised education, healthcare, and accommodation. In addition, the underprivileged want to eradicate their inherited family poverty chain. First, they need to work hard to become outstanding in their secondary studies along with part-time jobs to financially support their family, then need to burn the midnight oil to get admission in prestigious institutions on scholarships. After that, it is obvious they need to put in extra effort to do better in their jobs. In contrast, for privileged children, it comes without an effort for example Rahul Gandhi got admission into Oxford University, without writing an entrance examination. He had been taught by the best teachers in the world and surrounded by scholars. Because he comes from an affluent family. In reverse, for underprivileged students, the journey is different and difficult.
However, hardships engulf their adolescence and sometimes their childhood as well. But it helps them to become excellent better-skilled people. However, they have a scarcity of affection, and sometimes they have to leave their family too.
In conclusion, the student or the employee will reach the summit in their lives due to their hardship and its worth to do hard work.
Ok thank you ma’am I will try to give my best in next essay.
Thank you ma’am.can you give me band score?
Because you didn’t answer the second question at all, I can only give it a 5.
In present time,society divides in two parts rich and poor,because of these differences many people suffer in terms of education and employment.
The population who born with silver spoon,they get everything from their parents without any efforts.for example,the billionaire’s kids get the ready-made business,in which they do not need to put affords,while the poor one has to spent half of life to reach at near by level.
In addition,due to inequality occured in society, many individuals doing hardship throughout the life.for instance,in India because of caste system lower caste has to suffer alot,and all hardworking work they need to do in terms of employment. Moreover,lower caste students do not have sufficient money to pay college fees,as result they have to do hard work because lack of education can not provide good job with handsome package.
To conclude,the government need to take some action to decrease these level and give equal opportunity so that become easier for everyone.
Why didn’t you answer the second question “is it always a good thing to work hard”? Also, this writing task doesn’t ask you to give a solution. Therefore, your conclusion paragraph is irrelevant.
