✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?
It is widely believed that
people

do not read
newspapers
Use synonyms
anymore. Personally, I strongly think it's negative with
this
Linking Words
view for a variety of reasons. First of all,
people
Use synonyms
may not know anything about them.
This
Linking Words
means that they don'
t
Use synonyms
know situations about politics, the environment or new policies from the government etc. In fact, they may make something wrong, when they didn'
t
Use synonyms
update enough of the information.
For example
Linking Words
, my friend

read the
news

from the government about a new insurance policy. They asked for more requirements to submit the document, but he
didn’

t

read that update from the newspaper.
Thus

, he
didn’

t

know the new rule and when he went to the insurance office to do as before, the officer refused and didn'

Furthermore

This

is because they didn'

follow some information from the
newspapers

. In fact, they are led in the wrong direction.
For example
Linking Words
, my brother heard some
news

about the senate, which did some things in my hometown, and his friends told him that the senate is really bad, because he did some bad things.
However

, he just listen from his friend and
didn’

t

didn’

t

take care of something. In my opinion, I think we need to encourage
people

to read more

. So that they can catch the
news

and understand more about the situation surrounding them.
