Band 4.5

The internet has dramatically altered our lives over the past few decades. Although some of these changes have been negative, the overall effect of technology has been positive. What are your opinions on this?

There are various different opinions on the subject of the
Internet
.
While
 some people might suggest that it has negatively affected our lives and society, I personally believe that it has actually made the world a much better place. In my opinion, there are two main benefits to
this
 technology.
Firstly
, I am sure most people would agree that the
Internet
 has improved the way we communicate.
Although
 spending too much time using the
Internet
instead
 of talking to real people can cause social isolation, most of us have benefited greatly from e-mail and

 useful and powerful communication tools have made it much faster, easier and cheaper to keep in touch with family and friends in other countries (and
also
 to do international business).
In addition
 to
this
, the
Internet
 provides us with all of the
information
 in the world at work, school and home. In the past, research involved spending many hours in the library. Now,
however
, the same
information
 is available online. Of course, not all of the material on the
Internet
 is offensive and some of it is dangerous – there is everything from pornography to instructions on how to make bombs.
Nevertheless
, I feel that
this
 free movement and sharing of
information
 has generally been beneficial.
To conclude
, I once again restate my view that the
Internet
 has had a positive influence on modern life because of its effects on both communication and the flow of
information

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
