With an increasing population communicating via the internet and text messaging, face-to-face communication will become a thing of the past. To what extent do you agree with this opinion?

✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?
Nowadays it is easier to communicate with others even if we are a long distance apart, the
internet
Use synonyms
is proof of
this
Linking Words
and has helped us as a society to keep in touch despite the distances.
However
Linking Words
many
people
Use synonyms
believe
this
Linking Words
has not only given us facilities but
also
Linking Words
problems like losing face-to-face
communication
Use synonyms
while
Linking Words
encouraging screen-to-screen
communication
Use synonyms
. Even though I think
this
Linking Words
is true, I will explain why
this
Linking Words
is not necessarily a bad thing for society. First of all, the
internet
Use synonyms
and
text
Use synonyms
messaging were invented for one reason and
that is
Linking Words
to encourage contact with others even if they are very far from you.
For example
Linking Words
, you can talk with someone who is on the other side of the world
while
Linking Words
I'm on another continent, we can even talk by video chat and keep in contact. In
this
Linking Words
case, even though two
people
Use synonyms
are chatting through a screen they still talking to each other which in cases where neither
internet
Use synonyms
nor
text
Use synonyms
messaging exist will make the two
people
Use synonyms
lose contact
as a result
Linking Words
.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, the fact that
communication
Use synonyms
through
text
Use synonyms
could be very concerning for some
people
Use synonyms
because it encourages us to prefer
this
Linking Words
type of
communication
Use synonyms
to communicating with others face to face. Proof of
this
Linking Words
is business meetings, companies now prefer to do it online
instead
Linking Words
of in an office where everyone can share their own ideas more clearly and talk about them.
This
Linking Words
could seem good at
first,
Linking Words
but eventually, it can make the employees lose their motivation or feel lonely.
That is
Linking Words
why in many cases it is better to choose other alternatives of
communication
Use synonyms
that require physical presence. I think communicating via the
Internet
Use synonyms
or
text
Use synonyms
messages gives us a lot of facilities, but if we abuse its use can turn into something really bad
due to
Linking Words
lack of physical presence.
This
Linking Words
type of
communication
Use synonyms
should only be used in extreme cases where there is no other option,
while
Linking Words
face-to-face
communication
Use synonyms
should be always our first option.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
