Do you think that it is necessary to be tidy?

Band 6 model

Yes, I think it is necessary to be tidy to some extent. Being tidy helps you work better and keeps things clean. But I don't think you need to be perfect all the time; a bit of mess is OK.

Speaking criteria note: The Band 7 answer balances pros and cons, uses more sophisticated vocabulary and idioms, and presents a clear, balanced viewpoint.
