Over the

last

century, humanity has developed several ways to deliver the information

such

radio

, television and internet.

Although

some people might say that wireless is the perfect instrument to broadcast the news, I tend to believe that the visual side of television cannot be underestimated and there is no better tool yet to show the news.

However

, in

this

essay we will discuss both sides of the argument. There are a number of strong arguments in favour of watching news on TV.

Firstly

, when we listen to the transmission, we always have to use our imagination to get the visual side of the event.

Thus

, we may miss some significant aspects and even get the wrong idea behind the given information.

For example

, the channel may show us the exact place where the event is happening or may happen.

Secondly

, it could be much understandable for all viewers when they can observe emotions of the presenter or the news host.

Hence

, making it much easier to absorb the information when the host is talking about various types of the events

such

as conflicts, wars and global summits since it is not always clear.

On the other hand

radio

also

has its own benefits.

For instance

, people are not always able to watch TV so some of them are trying to learn something new while driving to their workplaces or homes. One will see, by looking into the statistics of BBC's

last

article about

radio

, that 80 percent of their survey's respondents do not have enough time in their everyday life.

Thus

, they try to listen to some music or news using

radio

while they do exercises or work. In conclusion, despite the fact

radio

has its own advantages, I personally, prefer to watch the news on TV to catch everything correctly.

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 today's world, alternative sentencing has become more popular than longer prison sentences.

The majority of news is being reported bad news such as wars famines, accidents and crime. Why do you think that is? Do you think news should be balance of good news and bad news?
In some periods, more journal channels tended to focus more on the negative events rather than talking about the moral and honourable moments, which, according to me, can explain why people were more attracted by pessimistic actions. However, I firmly believe that journalists should write both good and bad news in an objective way.
