It’s time to ban social media. It has been shown that it has made life worse for people all over the world, from politics, to self-image, to the spread of disinformation. It is a social experiment that has not worked and it is time to say goodbye.To what extent do you agree with the above statement?

Our race has been non-stop in terms of developing many aspects of the human foundation, but there is
one
of the aspects called social
media
, which is a place where we can post or share anything for everyone that uses the social
media
, and since
then
it has been changing our lives dramatically. But there were some researches from the public showed that social
media
has been causing more harm than good, as the false information got spread wider around the globe, causing people life becoming more confusing,
thus
it is time to say *farewell to social
media
*. I fully disagree with that fact, since social
media
is not unchangeable. On the
one
hand, we all must have responsibilities to our children, by knowing that at what age is suitable for
one
mind can understand how the world wide web function. Because social
media
is a creation from humankind that use to serve us, nor it is made for harming people or automatically changing someone's thought, it is just a tool, but you are the
one
who does not know how to use it.
For instance
, how can an iPad work without a person interacting with it? Without any interaction with that iPad, the object becomes unusable,
thus
it can not affect us. But if we know how to use it properly
then
it is a perfect tool for your work. From that example, we have to understand that do not let your small ones experience social
media
if they did not prepare enough basic knowledge about it.
On the other hand
, owners, whose invented applications that are famously known by the people
such
as Facebook, Twitter, Twitch,...you name it, should pay more attention to the news-analysis system. Due to the number of users around the world who are spending most of their time on social
media
, and it is not unexpected that the outbreak of incorrect news could happen spreadly over time, while the creators are just worried about their profits,
consequently
, a lot of chaos has happened around the planet in recent years.
In particular
, protesting the government for creating toxic vaccines for children, sprinting out for free medicines that could cure all illnesses,...and so on, and
this
breakout has led to many concerns about the application news guarantee. So you can see that the news-analysis system has to be ensured
first
hand. To conclude, though we can't change anything much at the moment, improvement is the key to stopping social
media
drawbacks, as the old say *not every needle is perfection, but only hard work could somehow push it close to completion*. Even so, I can not imagine how the world would be like if we did ban social
media
, I probably had cycled around the city for the library stores.

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.
