some communities still have an approach that

damage social

among society. I completely disagree with
this
statement and the reasons are analysed in
this
essay.
Firstly
, the communication and social
interaction
among
people
had the physical shape for ages and

physical communication had daily limits. It was impossible to interact with several groups within a day.
Furthermore
,
people
with the lack of ability to communicate encountered daily difficulties of social
interaction
, while
smartphones
and the digital boom changed the circumstances. The invention of
smartphones
and social media platforms had a significant impact on social
interaction
. To be more clear,
smartphones
have enabled
people
to communicate more easily with the help of social platforms like Facebook and Twitter, where
people
can talk and share their opinion and feelings at a global level.
Secondly
, several pandemics
such
as Covid19 or previous Influenza, swine flu or others had the worst impact on social
interaction
for societies. Mobility fell through society and direct communication and
interaction
minimized. Different communities arranged to keep social

with the help of these devices. Video calls, free messaging apps and other technical specifications of
smartphones
simplified the situation and minimized the negative impact of the pandemic on
interaction
through communities and social groups. In conclusion,
although
smartphones
had some negative effect on one-to-one connection, the positive effects are significantly big. Social
interaction
has been reduced by the use of
smartphones

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.
