Modern communications mean that it’s no longer necessary to write letters. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

#communications #it’s #letters
There is no doubt that the communication has changed a lot over the years. These days, traditional means like letter writing is obsolete. I believe modern tech has made our society advanced, and brought us closer, so we do not need letters anymore.
Firstly
, the way we communicate has improved by technology.
This
 is because we have a lot of options now.
For instance
, we can now send an email or text message that will reach within a matter of seconds, compared to half a decade ago, where the post would take around a week.
In addition
, businesses have benefitted immensely from
this
. The operations that would take months are now completed in a few days. Businesses can now call abroad for free,
this
 was really expensive a decade ago. On top of that, huge machines were needed.
Secondly
, the modern technology is much more convenient.
This
 is because of the advent of mobile phones.
For example
, we can easily send thousands of messages from our mobile. The same activity was done by visiting the post office in the past.
Furthermore
, these days big companies are paying more attention to the user experience than ever before. To put the huge size of these companies into perspective, Whatsapp sends ten million messages in a minute,
this
 is how convenient the new systems are. To conclude, communications will continue to evolve, and I think if it id for the betterment of mankind, we should embrace it.

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
