IELTS Writing Task 2

Maû people think modern communication technology is having some negative effects on social relationships. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? You need to write at least 250 words. You will have approximately 40 minutes to finish your Essay Writing. Answer: It is argued by some that state-of-the-art technological improvements in communication pose a dire threat to the relationships amongst people. I agree with this viwe point for some reasons. Firstly, social isolation is the first negative consequence. In todayÕs era, with the invention of the internet as well as smartphones and the emergence of other social networking websites, people are substituting physical relation with electronic ones. It is common to see maû youths prefer to make friends online via Facebook or Twitter instead of gathering at the coffee shops for their first meeting. Secondly, peopleÕs social etiquette are declining due to the lack of social exposure and the informal way of transmitting messages. On online platforms, teenagers tend to make use of emoticons and abbreviations to convey their feelings and emotions, removing the formalities rather than full sentences or making gestures or postures to express their actions. Finally, advanced technology in the field of communication can wreck the nature of friendship. Often virtual friends easily break up and only a minimum degree of reliability and loyalty is expected of them. Some online friends are merely looking for an opportunity to con others out of their pocket. A prime example is when I was persuaded by a close buddy of mine to transfer him USD 200 into his account, only later to reali“e that his Facebook account was a clone one. This has made me more cautious ever since. In conclusion, I believe that this trend is negatively affecting peopleÕs relations. Given this situation, it is advisable that less use of modern communication equipment be made.
