I have just written this in 30 minutes.
Would you prefer to live in a traditional house or in a modern apartment building? Use specific reasons and details to support your choice.
If I was given to choose between living in a traditional house and in a modern apartment building, I would choose a modern apartment building without any doubt. The reasons behind this preference are mainly social, economic and ecologic.
I think that living in a modern apartment building is more ecologic. Indeed, such buildings are often constructed using the last scientific researches to prevent temperature inside the building to be affected by the climatic conditions outside the building. Consequently, heating machine or air conditioning consume less energy in those building compared with in traditional houses which are often exposed to external climatic conditions from all sides. Moreover, living in a modern apartment building is less land-consuming. Many people can live in a relatively small area whereas in traditional houses more land would be needed to accommodate the same number of people. Thus, compared to living in traditional houses, living in modern apartment building save more money, use less land and waste less energy. It is definitely more economic and ecologic.
As far as social aspect is concerned, there is no doubt that people who live in modern apartment buildings have more opportunities to meet other people, neighbors for example, than people who live in traditional houses. Furthermore, some new apartment buildings are equipped with sport amenities such as swimming pool and sport field and residents can meet and enjoy time together in those places. Also, in modern apartment building children can easily make friends and I believe this is an important aspect in the development of children personality.
To sum up, although it could seem more peaceful to live isolated in a traditional house, conditions are changing and now we have to think about our environment and the future of our children. In this regards, living in a modern apartment building is definitely more efficient. This is why I would opt for this choice.
Thanks so much for reading!

Nice job. I would rate your essay around 20 points. But you should know that I am neither an expert nor a native speaker.

First of all, I am not a native speaker so I just want to give some advice - based on my experience. Last month I did my test and got 24 in writing.
1. For the introduction, I think you need one "context" sentence before immediately jump into the option.
2. Paraphrasing question definitely will give you extra scores rather than just copy the question
Maybe you can use "landed house" to change traditional housing, and so on.3. You can separate second paragraph to two different paragraph : first one discuss about economic side and the other discuss about ecologic side. Remember, only give one main idea in each paragraph.
Just my 2 cent advice!
