Nowadays people believe that social networking sites such as Facebook have had a huge negative impact on both individual and society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There are too many ills in the society.
Facebook
, along with many other popular social media channels have been blamed for the deteriorating culture of the young and old in the society. Many people believe the evils of social media should be stopped because it's more harmful than helpful to the citizenry. I totally disagree with
this
notion because these media sites are used as news sources and are
also
responsible for the quick transfer of knowledge and best practices amongst the younger generation.
First
, some people believe that social media
is
Suggestion
have been
responsible for many recently published suicidal cases. While, it is true that
such
victims were active on social media, it is wrong to think that social media in itself was the reason for their actions.
For instance
, it is worthy of note that there are many

religious, social
media addicts who spend so much time on the Internet teaching people how to live right.
Such
people cannot commit suicide

Internet, and
when they don't get help resort to committing suicide.
Hence
, the Internet cannot be blamed for their decisions.
Also
, It is worthy of note that many recent household inventions are widely spread because of
Facebook
and Twitter. In
order
not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied
other
words, many young people have passed knowledge amongst themselves without physically meeting each other by simply posting new ideas and copy other people's ideas.
For instance
, many people learnt how to cook from social sharing sites like

.
This
will not have been possible without social media. Again, social media sites
keeps

keep
people abreast of happenings around them.
This
means that social media addicts are more likely to get news and current happenings around them as against those who don't visit social media sites.
For instance
,
Facebook
's news feeds have helped families get aware of dangers in their
neighborhoods
a surrounding or nearby region
neighbourhoods
which would have caused them their safety. The family was safe because they followed the happenings in their
neighborhood
a surrounding or nearby region
neighbourhood
in a live
Facebook
channel and so for these reasons I strongly disagree that social media sites are responsible for the ills in the society. In conclusion, though there have been several complaints about social media sites and its relationship to a downgrading community, I strongly disagree that these social media sites should be blamed.

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
