The media

have long been perceived

as a tool providing people with news and information,

it undoubtedly exerts considerable effects on them. While some argue that

this

is a negative trend, I personally believe that it does more good than harm. On the one hand, it is without dispute that the news media might sometimes be detrimental to the society.

In particular

, it has an inclination towards exaggerating the magnitude of the real threat (

for example

, the contagion of a disease) so as to draw the attention of desired audiences and in pursuit of high audience ratings.

This

can result in causing a widespread panic among the population.

lives, including

an affair that a celebrity is involved with, an occasional vehicle accident, and the like.

In other words

, viewers are prone to get distracted from something is far more noteworthy, namely poverty, environment-related issues, to name but a few.

On the other hand

, despite the downside mentioned above, news media yet leaves some undeniable positive impacts on human beings.

First

and foremost, people can have a provision of needed information on a timely basis, which may contribute to helping them keep up with current affairs and broaden their horizons in many aspects

such

as economics, politics and cultural diversity in many parts of the world. More importantly, it would be of great essence to acknowledge that news media can sometimes save lives and reduce casualties. Specifically, it conveys the

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

some people feel that free time is something valuable.
I want to let you know that I wish to change my class from IELTS B to A. To be honest, I am so scared to say that because I have changed my classes many times in the past, and I do not have the right to say so, but I will ask for the last time can I change my class.I do have a reason for that, one of the main reasons is that at first, I chose to be in Asia class because I knew that Asia could help me to improve my reading skills and she already did, but now I need to improve my writing as soon as possible because I do not know why I always score 5.5 in the test but in reality, I scored not less than 6.5. Moreover, I noticed that my friends who study with Ayna mentioned that they all improved the way they write and that she helped them a lot with that, also when I did the speaking test with Ayna she said that she could help me improve and that I just need a little help. I know that both classes are full, but I am not asking you to move me immediately, whenever there is an available p...

Converting to a vegetarian can be considered as a good health habit. It reduce the unhealthy fat intake, which a majority of a fatal health issues are cause by consuming meat.
