Some people think that with the increasing use of mobile phones and computers,people lose the ability to communicate face to face.

#people #phones #computers #ability #face
Some parts of society have an opinion that wide spreading of smartphones and computers cause humans to forget
face
 to
face
communication
 skills. I partially agree with
this
 idea, even though these devices allow people to link electronically, there are a lot of activities that require
face
 to
face
 interaction.
Firstly
, mobile phones and computers itself mean nothing.
In other words
, humanity had started to use email and cord phones several decades ago, but those activities didn'
t
 change their
communication
 skills dramatically.
Furthermore
, other significant factors influence the transformation of people's dialogues.
For example
, affordable data traffic, spreading of
communication
 networks, and convenience of software. Especially social networks, that very intrusively engage with people and trying to substitute real life with the picture on screens and text in messengers.
Secondly
, of course, the high degree of using instant messengers simplifies people’S communications, because they don'
t
 need to control their emotions and body language.
Moreover
, it is not necessary to have a clear mind for passing through conversations seamlessly.
However
, nowadays, users prefer to use video calls for
communication
, which are similar to
face
 to
face
 interaction and,
consequently
, requires identical skills.
Furthermore
, real-life
communication
 is a necessity for some activities that can'
t
 be substituted by impersonal messages from devices.
For instance
: dating between man and woman, building families, participating in commercial negotiations, trading and running businesses. It has a sense because humans need an extra level of trust to deal with important subjects,
that is
 reaching by
face
 to
face
 interactions. To conclude,
although
 modern communications considerably changed approaches of people interacting, real
face
 to
face
 conversations can'
t
 be easily substituted due to human nature.

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
