Many psychologists believe that social media is the main reason for stress of people in the modern life. Do you agree?

#psychologists #media #reason #stress #people #life
It is true that a vast majority of psychologists consider social media as the main cause of stress in today’s life. Personally, due to several reasons, I completely agree that social networks play a vital role in boosting stress among people. Without any doubt, social media is time-consuming. Whenever people open social network platforms like Instagram or Youtube, they unconsciously lose track of time since these new channels are incredibly attractive and addictive.
Therefore
, when they put their smartphones away, there is a very short time left for necessary activities or even emergent tasks
such
 as paying attention to family members, doing chores, taking a shower, and much more
besides
.
This
 simply creates a high level of stress in the users’ minds because they have not met the deadlines.
Additionally
, social networks are too many informative. Thanks to spreading a huge amount of information every
second
, a wrong culture has been formed among people meaning that they are supposed to keep themselves up-to-date with all relevant or irrelevant knowledge.
Accordingly
, their minds get overloaded and cannot process the recently entered data. It naturally leads them to lose their concentration and become stressed. If a great deal of information is in, the peace of mind is out.
Moreover
, becoming frequently over-informed following the
last
 news which is mainly unpleasant makes the users more worried. In conclusion, I firmly believe that having a continuous connection with the modern virtual world is stressful as it is time-wasting and overwhelmingly informative.

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.

    The spread of a ‘global language’ such as English will threaten national languages. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

    An increasing number of individuals today prefer to use a global language such as English to communicate instead of opting for native tongues throughout the World as different countries become closer to each other due to the development of transportation mediums. Some people think that it will be a threat to the local languages. Although it has some minor risks, I can not entirely agree with this thought and will discuss my point of view.

    University students are increasingly studying abroad as part of their studies. Do the advantages of studying abroad outweigh the disadvantages?

    students at graduation level are prominently selecting studying at an international university as part of their academic learnings. Although selecting international universities can give a short-term feeling of homesickness and disconnection from family and friends back there in their country it creates opportunities such as finanacial independence, greater employment opportunities and global exposure about the selected subjects.

So it is likely for them to stick their eyes to the screen for many hours which can severely affect the well-being of children physically and mentally. In my opinion, this tendency is a bit of a negative development.
