It is indisputable fact that possession of a amount of money allows people to live more conveniently; however, there are several potential dangers. The pros and cons of this issue have been debated much upon and this essay aims to highlight both.
The most obvious benefit gained from wealth is its significant encouragement
towards the economic growth, which is attributed by the noticeable escalation
in the individual’s productivity at work caused by their ability to afford
academic programs at a wider range of prestigious academic institutes. Also, we
should not forget to point out how this practice resonating with the
development of technology could bring about the positive consequences on
facilitating women with easier housewives’ life because the fact that due to
the availability of state of the art electronic devices, hardly any housework
are now totally accomplished manually. For example, according to a study
conducted by the Time recently, a remarkable 30% of woman from classy families
have not done housework themselves for the past 5 years.
However, we should not turn a blind eye to the expected undesirable outcomes,
one of which is the increasing quantity of conflicts as well as social evils in
the society, which are resulted in by the fact while siblings’ domestic
conflicts may be intensified when each child trying to get a larger share of
the massive inheritance upon the death of their parents, some youngsters who
are lured by others’ wealth commit various crimes in pursuit of instant
welfare. Another threat worth preparing for is the negative influence of this
practice on children’s personality development because of parents’ prevalent
misconception that greater amount of monetary support can make up for their
lack of care of their children, which is blame for not only the child’s
isolation to his poorer peers but also his bad behaviors due to customs of
spending money without the adults’ supervision at such an early age. My cousin
who was ruined by his parents’ money and convicted for snatching someone’s bag
on the street for fun would serve as a concrete example.
In conclusion, it is thus imperative for people to be fully aware of both
merits and pitfalls associated with money before making decision of pursuing
wealth in order to increase their living standards.
Here are some comments to help you develop your
essay further. These comments are aimed at band score 6.5 and above.
1.
Body paragraph 1: Make your main points focused. You first main point covered economics, work and education - what was your main point exactly? Your topic sentence must contain one clear main point in order to get band score 6 and above.
This main point was not sufficiently developed to get a good score in task response. Also this essay was not about wealth for the country but wealth for individuals. Here's an example of how your first body paragraph should be written:
The most obvious benefit to having money is that people are able to afford not only basic necessities but also luxuries which can be used to enhance their lives. One clear example is people being able to afford a good level of education for their children which in turn will help the children secure a better job in the future and this benefit the family. Another advantage to money is the effect it has had on the role of women in the family. With the development of household technology, money enables people to buy such technology which allows women more time so they can join the work force and contribute to society as well as the family.
Think of one clear advantage and then explain it in one more sentence. Give another advantage, use the right linker, and explain that. This is the technique for adv/ disadv essays. The examiner is looking for developed and supported ideas, not just a wide range of ideas.
2.
You have good paragraphing but you could use more linkers. Showing the examiner that you can be flexible with linking is important. Don't overuse them but you should use more than you have.
3.
All examples should be written in third person singular or plural for an academic essay. So don't write about your cousin, write about people in general. "For example, some children can be ruined by their parents money and this can result in ..."
You have good grammar and vocabulary on the whole. However, keep control of your sentences. One of your sentences was 71 words - this is too long and shows a lack of punctuation and control. Here's the example:

You need to break it down:
Another drawback worth highlighting is the negative impact that spending too much money has on the development of a child's personality. In other words, many parents believe that by indulging children, it can make up for the lack of parental guidance but in reality this is often the actual cause of further problematic behaviour which can lead to actions bordering on criminal acts.
4.
You also need to use vocabulary relating to advantage / disadvantage. Here's a list:
advantage: benefit, gain, positive point, advantageous, beneficial, positive aspect
disadvantage: drawback, problem, issue, problematic, negative consequence / aspect.
