It is argued by some individuals that technology has invaded our lives for the worse. I don’t agree with

this

idea. People enjoy uncountable advantages nowadays that are given by online technologies. In

this

essay, I will give examples of some of them, even if they are just a few.

Firstly

, science has developed dramatically since researchers are able to share their findings and results amongst their fellows around the world.

As a result

, international teams of scientists can collaborate on new lines of research easily.

Thus

, new ways of fighting diseases have been discovered.

For instance

, new treatments against cancer are discovered every day, giving hope to the diseased.

Secondly

, knowledge and culture have disseminated around the globe.

Therefore

, people from different cultures can learn from one another.

Consequently

, tolerance and respect for the differences have increased, since we have understood that there we have much in common. The wave of solidarity and collaboration when a natural disaster happens is almost instantaneous, and international help steadily appears wherever it is needed. The NGO campaign for helping the victims of the Japanese tsunami is a good example of it.

Finally

, in spite of these advantages, social media and lack of content control have a dark side. Experts have warned about the rising of anxiety and depression in our children, due to the exposure to aggressive content not suitable for their age. Adult content and violent films are achieved by very young users with just a click.

For instance

, porn films have been found on the cell phones of students of primary schools Taking all

this

into account, in my opinion, the balance between good and bad is clear. Information technology has brought us great advantages that have made a better world for most of us. The proof is that Everybody is using technology these days, even the ones who abhor it.

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

We cannot deny that there are some elements of imbalance within a few countries on the proposition of young adults mixed to society among their older counterparts.
