Many people today use their phones for sending text more than talking. What are the reasons for this? Are there more advantages than disadvantages?

#people #phones #text
It is true that there are people who opted to choose texting over talking most of the time when communicating. There are reasons for
this
 and in my own view, I believe
this
 trend has more disadvantages. There are two main reasons why people prefer to type a
text
 than make a voice call. One reason is that it is convenient for them.
This
 is because texting can be way easier to convey a clear conversation.
For instance
, rather than making a voice call in a place with noisy streets, it is convenient to send a
text
 message, since the person will definitely understand the message compared to when they are talking on the phone with a noisy setting. Another point is that texting is less intrusive. When people are in a meeting or classes
for example
, texting can be a safe choice to contact the person so that they can prevent unnecessary destruction.
Hence
, people choose to convey through
text
.
However
, despite these plethora of reasons, I think that
this
 type of communication can bring more detriments.
First
 of all, communication via
text
 has no associated feelings. Texting is a difficult medium for communicating with emotions. When a person sends
text
Suggestion
a text
, the recipient may not know if the sender is angry, not unless he tells it in
text
. Rather than assuming that the sender is angry, the receiver should pretend that all the texts have good intentions or else these can turn into arguments.
Moreover
, texting is a slower way to reply in a conversation. In times of emergency or danger, people less likely to prevent
further
 problems due to delayed responses compared to when they make voice calls.
Thus
,
text
 type communication has more serious drawbacks. In conclusion, while sending a
text
 can be convenient for some, I consider
this
 trend to have more disadvantages to people.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
