Nowadays people use social media to keep up with the news.why do they do thus ?is it a positive or a negative trend?

Technology has made it very easy for
people
to be updated with
news
through social
media
. They prefer to get the latest updates on the world wide web at their fingertips. It has a negative impact on the public.
This
essay will examine why
people
do
this
and explain how it can negatively impact society.
To begin
with,
people
find it very convenient to use social
media
for announcements as they don't have to wait to read the newspaper.
For example
, Facebook and Twitter keep us updated with the latest
news
instantly covering every part of the world and we are more informed than those who rely on print
media
and announcements on the tv. The story shared on the internet spreads worldwide within a few seconds including the latest development and headlines without even having to search for them.The more convenient it is to access
this
news
on social
media
,the more
people
will rely on it.
This
form of report is a negative development and has a worrying impact, as it is biased. Facebook and Twitter know our preferences and likes,they know what we want to hear about and end up sharing that with us.If you are politically left-wing, you will probably only encounter stories that align with those biases. We watch the same kind of
news
repeatedly
thus
leading us to prejudice and ignorance.There is no counter-argument to what we might believe in
furthermore
, misleading us as there is no one challenging our ideas. I conclude by stating while
this
is potentially valuable to have
such
easy access to the
news
, we need to be more careful while watching anything on the internet and believing in all that we learn on social
media
. We should try to seek more information from other sources as well and compare the authenticity of the announcement we read on the internet.
This
will save us from the negative influence bad
media
can have on our minds.

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
  • In general
