I see what you mean, Mohammad. You are right. When there is a percentage sign (%) after the space then "18" is best, and also it should be "2 in 10". Generally, however, a number (10) or a written number (ten) are both acceptable? in the exam. If you have a question like "How many people went to the zoo?" you could say 3 or three. If it is a big number it is best to write the number - e.g. 347.

Really appreciate your helps for IELTS students. In the answers you always use? the numbers as letter not digit, I wondered which one is preferable on the test day. For example, in the first listening test, you have suggested 18 as eighteen and 2 as two, even though the nearby sentences analogy gives vote for numbers instead of letters. God bless you.

Yes, "office atmosphere" would be a good answer if you could write two words or more. However, the instructions at? the beginning say to write one word or a number, so only "office" will fit. You must take care in the IELTS exam to not write more words than allowed (not more than... one word... two words... three words, etc) . The answer might be right and grammatically correct but the candidate will not receive a score if instructions are not followed.
