Many people advocate not to use Facebook because of the social problems it creates. What are the benefits and drawbacks are using Facebook? What is your view on this? What do you prefer?

Recently, the debate on whether we should stop using
Facebook
in order to avoid creating social problems has been heated. As far as I am concerned, we should not stop using it.
Firstly
,
Facebook
can keep us up to date with no doubts. From
Facebook
, we can know the current issue and others’ point of view,
this
helps expose us to the current discussion.
Moreover
, by seeing comments made by other people,
this
allows us to see the perspective for them to look into the question.
However
,
this
may
also
lead to some drawbacks like fake news. Because of the technology booming, people can spread the information around the
world
within seconds,
this
also
create a boom in the fake news. We barely have time to check do the fact check as the news are popping out at a high rate.
Secondly
,
Facebook
allows us to connect with the
world
. By using
Facebook
, we are able to share our view and make friends with people all around the
world
,
this
helps expands our friends circle.
Nevertheless
,
this
may
also
lead to some undesirable situation. Because of the convenience it has brought to us, some rioters in different countries may able to plan the chaos together,
this
would definitely threat our
world
.
However
, every coin has two sides, in my opinion, we should not stop using it since it might lead to some cons to us.
Moreover
, there are barely things which don’t have negative sides, even eating, we might
also
bear the risk of gaining weight,
therefore
, how can we stop using something just because we might take some consequences for it?
Besides
, I believe that all the problems cause by using
Facebook
can be solved or lighten by having more strict restriction and the application of some specific policies.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
