+ many individuals consider that building their own successful careers is top-priority
+ delaying childbirth could give young people countless opportunities to enjoy their lives

There are two important reasons why more people nowadays are deciding
against having children when they are young.Firstly, rather than embarking
on parenthood, many individuals consider that building their own successful
careers is top-priority. If they had to split their time between working and
bringing up their offspring when they were in the early stages of their
careers, their performance at work and promotion prospects could be
negatively affected. Secondly, delaying childbirth could give young people
countless opportunities to enjoy their lives. For example, this choice may let
young couples have a richer social life, pursue their interests and hobbies or
even to travel the world.

+ raising children could be a huge challenge for older parents
+getting pregnant after 35 years of age oftentimes carries more potential health risk -> the
quality of the future workforce

However, this tendency could have negative consequences in terms of

both family life and society. An important concern for a family is that
raising children could be a huge challenge for older parents. Even
though they might have a high socioeconomic status, as well as great
experience and knowledge, it may not be easy for them to communicate
with and relate to their children, due to the generation gap.Another
negative factor is that getting pregnant after 35 years of age oftentimes
carries more potential health risks. Specifically, this could increase the
danger of having a miscarriage or stillbirth for older mothers, and babies
might be at greater risk of having Down‟s syndrome. Consequently, this
could negatively affect the quality of the future workforce

 IELTS EXAMINER COMMENTS
+ Task response:
This is an excellent essay with a lot of strong points. I have never seen this topic before. It is a very
interesting one. In paragraph 2, you suggested two very relevant reasons for this trend. You explained
both of them fully and you supported your second point with an example. In paragraph 3, you focused
exclusively on negative impacts. You argued both point convincingly and at length, again giving real-life
examples to support your ideas. My score for task response is 9
+ Coherence and cohesion:
The topic sentences were ideal. You identified your arguments perfectly in paragraph 2. In paragraph 3,
you referred first to „the first impact‟. I think that the identification of your second argument will be
clearer if you write: „Another impact is....‟ This would be more effective than „Furthermore, ....‟. As your
sentences were also linked very smoothly, and for coherence/cohesion my score is 9
+ Lexical resource:
I think that one of the strong points is this essay is your awareness of words which combine together well
(„collocations‟): to start a family, embarking on parenthood, embarking on parenthood, to split their
time between....
+ Grammatical range and accuracy:
You use a range of structures both simple and complex. As with lexis, this area of your writing is strong.
