The development of new
communication
 methods, especially telecommunications and its related devices has improved our daily life. While
this
 essay agrees with the idea that many people benefited from the modern communications technology, I believe that some of them do not get any advantage at all.
First
 of all, modern electrical devices help us to collect information better. Nowadays, telecommunications have become increasing and well- informed and connect us with each other wherever they are.
For example
, parents can call for their children who study in other countries.
Secondly
, because of these technologies, people in remote, rural areas have an opportunity to communicate with those in urban areas.
Besides
, students who live in the countryside have accessed global knowledge easily despite of having distance.
Thus
, they can become successful in the adulthood and spread knowledge to people in their regions.
On the other hand
, media and
communication
 devices
such
 as television, phone and radio has rapidly spread, which leads to people to ignore face-to-face relationships. With the development of social media websites on the Internet, people spend almost time making virtual relationships.
For example
, Vietnamese people spend 3 hours per day on surfing the internet and using social networking.
Secondly
, technology is acting as a deterrent to
communication
 between the elderly and youngsters. Adolescents are often hooked on technological devices
such
 as smartphones and tablets with social media applications available and forget to conserve with their grandparents.
Therefore
,
this
 revolution leads to lack of
communication
 between the two generations in our family and separate them apart. In conclusion, communications technology helps us a lot in many different fields
such
 as education or economics, but it
also
 brings several drawbacks to communications in reality.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
