Spoken communication is always more powerful than written communication. To what extent do you agree or disagree.

#communication
There has been an ongoing debate if verbal
communication
 is more effective than written
communication
. In my opinion, I completely agree that the verbal
communication
 is more effective as it helps the speaker to express its emotions while providing the
information
.
First
 and Foremost, exchanging of vocal
information
 has always been preferred over writing. The main reason is that the speaker can emphasize on the importance of the
information
 which is being communicated to the listener.
This
 can be done by increasing or decreasing the tone of their speech. A speaker can
also
 convey its emotions by verbal
communication
.
Moreover
, people tend to be motivated if they hear the voice of an individual whom they adulate.
For example
, during political rallies, the leaders always prefer to interact with its audience verbally to create influence on them.
Secondly
, a written
communication
 may often be misinterpreted by the reader.
In other words
, the reader reads the
information
 and concludes on the basis of self-judgement and emotions.
This
 is
also
 evident on a business email.
For instance
, as per a study published by Stanford University, in the UK, states that 42% of the employees working in office have interpreted an email based on their state of mind, regardless of the fact.
This
 shows that written
information
 may lead to
further
 confusion because it totally depends on how a person evaluate and conclude the
information
. In conclusion, there is a high probability of misinterpreting the written
information
;
therefore
, vocal
communication
 is considered to be powerful.

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
