It is indisputable fact that the

internet

has brought many significant changes to our lives. Yet, there remain some disagreements as to whether the overall effect of the

internet

has been positive or negative. While there are certainly valid arguments to the contrary, I personally believe that the advantages far outweigh than disadvantages. The advantages are twofold. Due to the

internet

, our communication technique has been improved.

For example

, before the invention of

this

kind of technology, we had talked to our relatives who stayed 1000 miles from our hometown via letter.

This

method was very time-consuming.

However

, after the invention of the

internet

, there are numerous video calling app has been developed

such

as Messenger, Instagram, Whatsapp, and Google duo. Because of

this

, we can easily talk to our loved ones who have lived in another city or nation.

However

, with the overuse of these kinds of apps, there has been seen the risk of isolation in people who spend too much time at their computer terminal rather than relating to people in the real world. Another, equally important, the benefit has been seen in the student's life.

For instance

, in old days, many students had to go to the library for finding their academic materials. Because of

this

, their loft of time had been wasted on finding materials, but, in the hi-tech era, owing to the

internet

, the vast majority of books pdf and research papers are available on the

internet

Hence

the majority of students can easily access these kinds of materials from their homes.

However

, due to the availability of sexual or offensive content, sometimes youth's minds can influence in the wrong direction.

Nonetheless

this

free flow of information generally has been very positive. In conclusion,

although

there may be a few disadvantages of the

internet

, my arguments clearly indicate that the positive effects of the

internet

are more.

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

Consumerism regarding films and series is bringing about distinguished cultural approaches and choices. Many believe that imported movies and television shows are beneficial for cultural diversity, while others disagree and insist that these materials ought to be produced internally.

Nowadays, distance-learning programs are such common thing for us (the study material by post, by internet) but some people argue that courses can never be taken as good as those by attending in a college or university in person. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
