You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: Fewer and fewer people today write by hand using a pen, pencil, or brush. What are the reasons? Is this a positive or a negative development? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.
An increasing number of individuals nowadays are opting to write with pens, pencils or brushes. The advancement of technology is the main reason for
this
event and I believe that this
improvement has positive aspects.
The advent of digital devices and word-processing software has made typing and digital communication more convenient and efficient. Moreover
, typing is generally faster than writing by hand, and digital communication is easy for editing, copying and sharing information
. As a result
, electronic devices and the internet have made information
readily accessible, reducing the need for handwritten notes or letters. For example
, many people find it more convenient to communicate through emails, text messages, or social media platforms due to
immediacy and ease of use.
I personally believe that there are several benefits to this
development. Digital communication often facilitates faster and more efficient information
exchange, enhancing productivity in various aspects of life and work. Furthermore
, this
allows for easy archiving, searching, and retrieval of information
, reducing the risk of loss or misplacement. Finally
, it is safer to type than write on paper. For example
, by typing a letter, you can save it on your computer, and the chance that you miss it could be zero, and you have access to it whenever you want, either at work or on vacation.
In conclusion, the convenience of typing and being readable by everyone are the main reasons that fewer people use handwriting. It is also
reduced the use of paper and contributes to environmental conservation and I really recommend that everybody should learn to type with a computer.Submitted by baonhi260804 on

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences
You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.
‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.
Examples:
I really want to study but I’m too tired.
I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.
