It is clear that the invention of the Internet has led dramatic changes in the way people communicate as well as searching for

information

. While I agree that the Internet is

Suggestion

useful

communication

tool, I would

content

maintain or assert

contend

that it is not a reliable source of

information

Firstly

, it is an indisputable fact that the Internet has revolutionized the way we communicate. With the aid of many

communication

platforms available on the Internet

such

as Skype, Telegram and Facebook Messenger, people can make a call or send a message instantly regardless of distance for business purposes or contact with their friends.

For example

, many companies in US are integrating online interview as a part of their

recuitment

the act of getting recruits; enlisting people for the army (or for a job or a cause etc.)

recruitment

process.

This

is a cost effective method as it reduces the cost of travelling between

cites

Suggestion

the cites

of applicants, which large companies often pay for their

candicates

a politician who is running for public office

candidates

as reimbursement of travel expenses. These useful tools of

communication

have facilitated our contact in an active way.

However

, the

information

on the Internet can sometimes be unreliable. Whereas in the past, we mostly read the articles in

a newspaper

nowadays, anyone

can publish

information

on a blog or forum without having it verified. Take fake news about Corona Virus in Vietnam as an example, as

this

epidemic broke out, many people in Vietnam started leaking news about the number of people infected are increasing remarkably and

government

Suggestion

the government

was unable to control

disease, in fact

this

number was only 5 at that time. If those who read

such

falsehoods accept them as truths, they might spread

this

further

on social media, in turn misinforming the public. To sum up, I am of the opinion that one significant advantage of the Internet in terms of

communication

is undeniable, it is important to consider the disadvantage of the Internet age has created is the proliferation of fake

information

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 many countries, the number of animals and plants is declining. Why do you think this is happening? How can this issue be solved?
We are living in a modern era where the amount of flora and fauna is at risk of extinction. In my opinion, this alarming problem is caused by the existence of an inordinate number of urbanisations as well as global warming. However, it can be solved by the government not only implementing strict rules on the logging field but also collaborating with individuals.

Universities and colleges are now offering qualifications through distance learning from the Internet rather than teachers in the classroom. Do you think the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?
In recent years, qualifications issued by universities can be offered through online learning instead of face-to-face teaching. Although students may have less social interactions during their studies, I believe that this disadvantage can be outweighted by the fact that students can have a wider choice of college programmes.

In some countries the average weight of people is increasing and their levels of health and fitness are decreasing. What do you think are the causes of these problems and what measures could be taken to solve them?
People in some countries are overweight and their levels of health and fitness are lower than average. In my opinion, this is because healthy life needs more cost and the government should take a role to control it.

In some countries an increasing number of people are suffering from health problems as a result of eating too much fast food. It is therefore necessary for governments to impose a higher tax on this kind of food. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is argued that governments should levy a tariff on junk food because the number of health risks associated with consuming this kind of food is on the rise. This essay agrees that a higher rate of tax should be paid by fast food companies. Firstly, this essay will discuss the fact that alcohol and tobacco companies already pay higher taxes and secondly, discuss how higher taxes would raise prices and lower consumption.
