Social media has replaced the traditional methods of communicating and people use more and more of social media to communicate and to follow news and events. Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

It is true that advanced technology has changed dramatically to our usage of communication.

However

, some people believe that there has drawbacks compared to the advantages of modern ways.

This

essay will examine the pros and cons with my own opinion. On the one hand, there are demerits associated with modern methods that should not be ignored.

Firstly

, the social media has a chance to deliver wrong information. It is because there are lots of undefined data on the internet, and

this

could cause that users sometimes share wrong news.

For example

, South Korea has a case in which the person who caused the car accident falsely reported the victim and the person who caused the accident.

Secondly

, traditional methods

such

as TV or newspaper is having a high range of services.

Moreover

, visual and audio factors can be used for advertisements efficiently. On the flip side, I strongly believe that there are lots of the advantages of social media. Primarily, social media is faster than traditional ways. It is because they are internet bases, which means wireless, and

also

it can be easily to access everyone or everywhere.

In addition

this

situation can communicate with international friends.

For instance

, I have an international friend who lives in Canada, I almost every day keeps in touch with him.

Lastly

, there are more useful in society.

This

is because traditional methods

such

as letters or newspapers are required time-consuming and manpower. In conclusion,

although

there are several disadvantages of usage of social media rather than earlier ways, I fully think that social media have lots of merits.

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
