Band 7

The promoters of social media claim that they are connecting people and enabling people to share like never before. While critics claim that social media site often impinge upon one’s privacy. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Nowadays, most
people
 are active on social
media
 and spend at least 1 hour daily on these
sites
. A group of individuals believes, that these
sites
 give the liberty to the public to connect with any individual around the globe and share anything. A modernist community opines that these
sites
 cannot be trusted to protect someone's privacy. In my opinion, these
sites
 are very beneficial for each individual because it opens an opportunity for each individual to connect with anyone
along with
 learn anything. To commence with, more than half of the population uses social
media
, where each individual gets an opportunity to connect with their family, friends and community who are living in other countries.
Moreover
, now professionals are
also
 on social
media
, so the public who are learning new skills in any field can easily connect with the
people
 who are masters in them on these
applications
.
Additionally
, folk get an excessive number of features to market their work because
data
 is sorted in it.
For instance
,
applications
 like Facebook and Instagram provide all these benefits, where more than 3.5 billion
people
 use these
applications
 daily and thousands of individuals
also
 promote their businesses.
However
, it is an undeniable fact each individual privacy matters a lot. If more than a billion
people
 use these
sites
 or
applications
then
 there are chances that their personal
data
 and chats can get hacked.
Data
 is something which is necessary for all the business.
Furthermore
, more than 5 times the world's most used social
media
 application Facebook is hacked and millions of
data
 is scraped by hackers which had a direct impact on the application
as well as
 on the
people
 who are promoting their work. In a nutshell, each thing has its pros and cons.
Although
, there are chances of
data
 leaks or hacking on these
sites
, I believe the benefits are even more significant, it provides an opportunity to connect with family, and friends and
also
 gives a unique feature to promote the work.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
