Communication is less between family members of late. Do you agree or disagree? To what extent?

The methods and patterns of communication we

use

today are very different to what they have been in the past. Not only has

this

had an impact on businesses, there has

also

been effected on families. I disagree with the view that interaction has decreased between family members. I firmly believe there is more communication in families nowadays. In

this

essay I will

use

examples from UK research on mobile phones and internet communications to prove my argument.

Firstly

, the growth in mobile phones allows family members to contact each other regularly.

This

is largely because the majority of the population carries a phone. A recent UK mobile operator survey showed that spouses contact each other ten times a day on average.

This

was not possible before the widespread

use

of mobile phones.

This

demonstrates that we have never been better at staying in touch with our loved ones.

Secondly

, the creation of worldwide internet communication allows families to get in touch easily, even though they may be in different countries.

This

is due to the speed at which we can communicate with each other today.

For instance

, the Skype company has published statistics showing that seventy percent of people

use

Skype to contact family overseas.

Therefore

, in today's world we are more connected with our family, despite the distance. To summarise, the advancements in mobile phone technology and internet communications have revolutionised the way we stay in touch with our families. We are now better connected to families because of the speed and ease of these innovations. It is predicted that we will continue to converse in many new ways in the future. I believe

this

will bring us closer to our families.

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

Traditions are about the past and innovation is about the future, and it has been argued that we need to let go of traditions for the sake of progress. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this? What role should traditions have in our lives?
There is an argument that it is necessary to leave traditions for the sake of progress. This is mainly because innovation relates to the future while traditions sound like past things. However, I disagree with the statement for several reasons, and I will examine the role which should traditions have.

In today’s society people tend to buy many things and throw them away even though they can still be used. What are some causes of this behaviour? What are some effects? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
It is not too much to say that the history of humanity is the history of technology, i.e., technology, per se, has made us what we are, master of the universe, ranging from the control of fire to state-of-the-art inventions, e.g., aeroplaines and computers. Nowadays, many people are likely to buy a large number of products and discard them quickly, causing some significant problems.
