Some people think that modern technology is making people more sociable, while others think it is making them less sociable. Discuss both views and give your opinion

#people #technology
Although
 it is believed by some that advanced
technology
 is making people less active when dealing with others, others often believe that it is making them more active. In my opinion, I believe that advanced automation has a positive impact on people’s social lives, as
this
 will let them communicate easily with each other. On the one hand, the vast majority of people believe that advanced
technology
 is making a significant role in people’s communication. The reason behind
this
 is that people will only need to click a button on their phone devices to call anyone around the globe.
For instance
, Apple has recently introduced a new generation of watches that allows their users to make an emergency phone call by itself in case an urgent situation occurred, and
this
 can be done by measuring the vital signs in user’s bodies. For
this
 reason, advanced
technology
 shown a vital role in people’s communications.
On the other hand
, some people are blaming the ease of use of
such
 devices. They believe that visiting habits are becoming increasingly less than ever before, and
thus
 they have not been able to shake hands with each other or to see each other physically.
For instance
, a recent study by Harvard University in 2018 had shown a decline in the number of family visiting habits to nearby one
third
 as
technology
 devices incline. For
this
 reason, some people believe that in spite of the simplicity of using
technology
, it brought some negative habits. To conclude,
although
 people may vary in their opinions, I believe that modern
technology
 is making people far more sociable than ever before.

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
