Social networking sites,
for example
, Facebook, are considered to be extremely a detrimental effect on
individuals
 as well as communities. In my opinion, I strongly agree that they have had a dangerous impact on
societies
.
However
, for
individuals
, they seem to be more advantageous. With regards to
individuals
, the effect of online social
media
 has positive effects.
Firstly
,
people
 receive news quickly in any situation via social
media
such
 as Facebook or Twitter. They provide certain information and available
people
 to express their opinion in a comment.
In addition
,
people
 from different countries are accessible to communicate and share ideas through social networking.
Moreover
, they contribute good relationships with
people
 who are interested in the same topic. Not only
people
 in their countries can easily keep in touch immediately, but
also
 all populations in the world have a chance to develop relationships.
On the other hand
, drawbacks that significantly affect
people
 in
societies
 by the use of social networking. One way is that
people
 who spent much time with social
media
 may become addicted and have no chance to face to face. These
people
 lead to a sedentary lifestyle and are still unhealthy.
Furthermore
, everything that happens in online social
media
 is not always true, so
people
 in
societies
 are deceived by fake news that occurs on Facebook and contributes to contradictions between communities. In conclusion, using online social
media
 are considered to be advantageous for
individuals
.
However
, they seem to be disadvantageous for
societies
.

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.
