sites

are the ones that played a significant role in globalisation. But some believe these stations have a pessimistic effect on youth and had affected their ability to make personal relationships while others think
this

is a medium for connecting
people
Use synonyms
in a good
way
Use synonyms
.
However
Linking Words
, I agree with both notions to a certain extent. The
first
Linking Words
and foremost reason why some support
Facebook
Use synonyms
and Twitter is because it helps in maintaining long-distance relationships. With the help of these ,
sites
Use synonyms
people
Use synonyms
can connect to their loved ones or friends at any time and can see the stuff they post on their profiles on a daily basis which helps them to feel as they are not very far from
one

another. To illustrate ,
Facebook
Use synonyms
helped me to connect with my husband who went to a foreign country for studies and lived there for almost eight years. It really helped us to feel that we were not very far from each other because we used to video call each other with the help of
Facebook

.
In addition

to ,

we
also

met each other on
one

of the famous social

Use synonyms
sites
Use synonyms
of that time called 'Orkut'. In
this
Linking Words
way
Use synonyms
,sometimes these social
media
Use synonyms
sites
Use synonyms
help in making new relationships and
also

contribute to maintaining these relations for a long period of time.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, sometimes these websites do have a negative impact on the young generation when they are caught in the trap of web liers. Because it is not possible for someone to verify another person by simply checking his profile. The information provided by the netizen could be wrong.
Therefore
Linking Words
, adults should be aware of the possible outcomes of making strangers a friend on these
sites
Use synonyms
.
For example
Linking Words
, there is a program called 'Web Liers' telecasts on
one
Use synonyms
of the American channels' Investigation Discovery' where they show some real stories of the
people
Use synonyms
who caught in the trap of the other person on these types of
sites
Use synonyms
and mostly those
people

are kind of obsessed in some
way

who ultimately murder the victims. So the young generation should be aware of
this
Linking Words
kind of
people
Use synonyms
on social
media
Use synonyms
sites
Use synonyms
. Another example would be the 'Blue whale game' in which hundreds of children ended up their lives by doing suicide. In conclusion,
Facebook
Use synonyms
and Twitter can always be beneficial if
one
Use synonyms
uses these websites in an appropriate
way
Use synonyms
. Parents should
also

keep eye on their young ones and teach them the negative effects of these

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.
