Re: My first essay following Ryan's template

If we pretend there were no those grammatical errors, which band this essay scores approximately? Any ideas?

Re: Please rate my essay - Task 2 : Change should be accepta

Some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things

What other ideas do you have?
