tackle these issues. There are certain novel crimes that spread through social media platforms. Various types of
cyber
violation
such
as frauds, online money laundering and certain forms of malware which intend to steal a user’s private data are on the rise now. Because of the anonymity offered by the platform social media has become the paradise of hate mongers. They target other users and hurl abuses at them sitting behind their screen.
This
is nothing but cyberbullying. Teenagers are the most vulnerable targets of the
internet
. Nowadays, adult content which can be really harmful to them is easily available on the
internet
.
However
, these issues can be solved easily by implementing strict laws which intend to penalize the culprit. Many new users are not aware of the rules made by the government for these problems.
Hence
the government should run some kind of awareness sessions to ensure that people are aware of
cyber
laws and their right to privacy and protection.
For instance
, the Nigerian government in the year 2017 ran a successful campaign about
cyber
threats
such
as viruses and malware.
This
led to a dramatic reduction in data breaches.
Also
educating the young ones from an early age can be beneficial in stopping these crimes. Parents should
also
monitor the websites that are being used by their children and should implement certain firewalls to prevent their exposure to certain sensitive websites. To sum up, the
internet

it puts us at the risk of certain issues
such
as frauds, or scams. It
also
puts our privacy at risk. Even so, in my opinion, the impact of the
internet
on our lives is largely positive. As for the risks, there are several ways to mitigate them.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
