You should spend about 40 minutes on IELTS writing task 2.

Some countries have introduced laws to limit working hours for employees. Why are these laws introduced? Do you think they are a positive or a negative development?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. You should write at least 250 words.

Sample Answer

Rules and guidelines are made to keep law and control. A few nations have come up with a rule to decrease working hours for staff. These laws have been introduced to decrease the burden of employees and give them some relief to enjoy the work they do. I consider this to be a positive development as it will lead to less pressure and keep up with a balance between fun and serious activities. In the next few paragraphs, I will be supporting my opinion.

At the start, the paradigm shift has made individuals eager to earn a lot. People sacrifice their free and leisure time that they normally prefer to spend with their family. Hence, they raise their pressure to overwork and end up decreasing their efficiency. Thus, to calm their pressure, the need for cutting down the working hours is felt. Besides, it becomes a tough task for people to maintain work-life balance. They forget how to enjoy their lives and become accustomed to a dull, monotonous lifestyle. As a result, they develop a variety of diseases and health issues, compelling them to take pills to sleep at ease. This way, their energy and productivity levels decrease, which could be a great threat to the company’s economy. Therefore, to keep them agile, it is important to set up a limit on working hours.

Furthermore, another reason why it is a negative development is that this entire phenomenon is making people money-minded. They don’t prefer going out or valuing their relationships. Hence, this trend leaves a negative impact on job holders. On top of that, if the company is making progress, the credit goes into the basket of the staff. But, if the staff is shrinking the work, not being able to meet the goals, and is not optimistic, the company will not be able to make profits.

In conclusion, it is essential to decrease the working hours for the well-being of employees and the advancement of the company.
