Modern communications mean that it’s no longer necessary to write letters. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

#communications #it’s #letters
As
technology
 is flourishing by leaps and bounds, communication follows in the footprints. Some people claim that writing letters is no longer required
due to
 the latest communications. I completely agree with the aforementioned statement, and I would explain both sides in
this
 essay with reasons and my take. In the earlier centuries, there was only one option to communicate with people was a letter. Every person who wanted to send messages to their relatives or friends had to use letters.
For example
, in the time of war when soldiers have to talk with their families, they used letters because they found it was quite an effective and secure way to
share
 their feelings. As
technology
 has grown in recent decades, there are faster ways available to talk to each other, it is like sending messages is becoming quicker than a blink of an eye. In the 21st century with the advancements in
technology
, there're tons of online mediums available that we can use to
share
 our messages, stories, and thoughts in seconds.
Furthermore
, there are plenty of applications available in
this
 modern era.
For example
, the apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook help you to
share
 your message in your feed or DM someone privately with secure encryption. It not only saves you time but
also
 helps you to
share
 your posts with thousands of people at the same time. To summarise, I believe the letter was the only choice to communicate in the past,
in contrast
, the situation is completely changed in recent decades. So, I firmly believe as information
technology
 grows, we should grow too and not to leave ourselves behind in
this
 faster world. In fact, recent
technology
 developments posses to communicate your business marketing as well.
Therefore
, we should not wait for longer and start acquiring the skills to use them in our daily lives.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
