Students should be taught to read and write using a computer, as handwriting will not be used in the future. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Because of
the

technical development,
computers
are more and more important in life and work, replacing handwriting in many situations.
Due to
this
importance, many
people
suggest that
students
should learn how to
use
a computer to read and write. They believe that in the future, handwriting will be not essential anymore.
Although
students
should know how to
use
computers
for their studying, I suppose that writing by
hand
will not disappear in the future. On one
hand
,
computers
overwhelm traditional writing. In a minute,
people
can

more words than they write. It is crucial in the educational environment.
Students
can have to note essential things for examinations or simply because they do not have

Therefore

In addition

writing style.
This
is essential as sometimes,
teachers
can assess the answers of
students
for exercises. If
teachers
cannot read what their
students
read, they are not able to give effective and punctual advice to improve their skills or correct incorrect answers. Typing can deal with
this
disadvantage of writing by
hand
, helping
teachers
to access
students
' answers and examine how excellent they are.
On the other
hand
,
computers
cannot completely replace handwriting in the future. One of the main reasons is the

as rapidly as possible.
Students
usually have to learn how to

while
writing by

In addition

. Another significant drawback of
computers
is they are not suitable for a number of writing systems in the world, which handwriting can deal with.
For instance

Therefore

in China have to write frequently.
This
is what typing cannot solve, it is only effective in the case of alphabetic writing systems
such
as the Latin, Greek and Cyril alphabets. In conclusion, typing can be faster than handwriting and it is usually suitable for

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.
