Social media sites like Facebook and Twiter have more negative effects than positive effects. How much you agree with this opinion and why?

#media #sites #facebook #twiter #effects
Nowadays, it is becoming common for
people
 to use
media
 social to connect with others,
such
 as Facebook and Twitter.
However
, the negative impacts of these social
media
 overshadow the positive ones. In fact, I firmly agree with
this
 statement for two main reasons. The main reason is fraud on
media
 social. Social platforms become accessible for
people
. It is easier to make accounts and spread information.
However
,
this
 trend leads to some fraud.
People
 can easily post hoaxes and deceive others.
For instance
,
people
 sell products on social platforms, but they do not really have that thing. They just stole some videos from the real sellers and posted them on their social
media
.
Thus
, many users will believe them and buy them.
Consequently
, the crime rate will increase. The following reason is changing citizen's attitudes. In
this
 modern era, social network makes
people
 spend too much time on the screen. They tend to prioritize surfing on internet rather than doing their jobs.
Moreover
, these bad habits can change citizen's personalities. They are not worried about their future and do not mind their responsibilities. For illustration, students do not review their materials and do not do their homework. They
also
 feel reluctant to ask teachers and friends about subjects that they do not understand.
Consequently
, they are failing on the exams.
To sum up
, not only fraud that can be caused by social networks but
also
 changes the attitude of the users.
Therefore
, I have no doubt that the negative effects of the internet eclipsed the positive effects.

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.

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