The Effects of Media Influence [IELTS Sample Essay]

Posted by David S. Wills | Jan 14, 2020 | Model Essays | 2

Today, I’m going to share with you a sample band 9 answer that I wrote for one of my students. This is something I provide as part of my IELTS writing correction service . I give every student a full essay, written by me, that would score band 9 according to the IELTS marking criteria .

Here is the question that I was given:

At present, the media greatly affects people’s lives. What impact does this have on society? Is it a negative or positive development?

Is this a real IELTS question? Probably not. In fact, I have altered it slightly to improve the grammar, which is always a warning sign. However, it is very similar to a real one and I guess that it actually did come from a genuine IELTS test.

Answering the Question

What you need to do is first analyse the question and then plan your answer.

First of all, this is a 2 part question . That mean, of course, a question with two parts. For this sort of question, the structure that you use will be simple:

introduction
answer question 1
answer question 2

My answer is also going to be simple. I will first say that there are many ways that the media influences us (with examples) and then say that is both positive and negative (with examples).

However, I will make it a little more complex because this is a band 9 essay. I’m going to introduce a negative example in paragraph 2 and then a positive one in paragraph 3. I will add a linking sentence that bridges the gap, linking my ideas in an advanced way.

Sample Answer

Here is my sample answer to the above IELTS writing question:

In the twenty-first century, media seems ever present in the lives of people all around the world. This essay will look into its impact and also discuss whether it is positive or negative. The role of the media is huge and it will probably continue to grow. Throughout the world, people’s opinions and beliefs are shaped by the media. Whether it is a newspaper, a TV channel, a website, or a social media app, these organizations have the power to make us vote for a political party, alter our views on particular social issues, or taken an interest in some area of life. In other words, the power that they wield is immense. In the United States, the media appears to have recently divided the population into rival political factions, with devastating consequences for society as a whole. The above example makes it seem as though the media is purely negative, but this is not true. When unscrupulous individuals use it to manipulate large numbers of people into doing something, then of course it is problematic, but that is not always how media works. There have been honest, upstanding media outlets throughout history whose commitment to spreading truth has helped solve great problems. Take, for example, the Washington Post’s expose of Richard Nixon’s crimes during the Watergate scandal. It is clear, then, that the media’s power is neither positive nor negative; instead, it is what people let it be. In conclusion, the media has a very large degree of control over people’s lives and this seems to be growing. It affects many parts of society, and in some ways this is rather negative, whilst in others it is positive.

Let’s briefly discuss the positive features of the above essay:

a simple but effective intro that raises the topic and states what will follow
two clearly structured body paragraphs
fully-developed ideas with examples
some – but not too many – transitional phrases
excellent grammar and accurate use of vocabulary
a reasonable conclusion that neatly summarises everything previously discussed

Economic Success and Environmental Consequences – IELTS Writing Task 2

January 31, 2022

Hi David, I enjoy reading your well thought out essays. I noticed that your essay is a discussion essay with no direct opinion given. The question asks: Is it a negative OR positive development? To me, this sounds like this question requires an opinion and not only a discussion? Are they asking you to make a choice? I would be interested in your thinking? Peter

I’d say that this is a 2 part question and I answered both parts. The first asks about the impact on society and the second is about it being positive/negative. I would say that the latter is certainly an opinion because nothing is objectively positive or negative. However, it’s also possible in such situations to give balance. As long as the explanation for the balance is clear and reasonable, I’d say it’s no problem.

IELTS Writing Task 2 – Topic: THE MEDIA

ielts writing topics 2019

1. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of three of the following as media for communicating information. State which you consider to be the most effective.

Sample Answer

In our daily life, we always communicate information through the media, such as television, radio, film. These media have different advantages and disadvantages for us. Now, I am going to compare the advantages and disadvantages of books, television and film.

Books bring us different knowledge. It bases on what Book we read. A famous Chinese traditional verse which described books is a treasure. We can find a golden house in there. Moreover, when we want to read it, we can find it easily, such as bookstore, library. We can also learn a lot of words from books. And it can improve our reading and writing skills.

However, books always are not attractive for children or youngster. It is because books are quite boring. A lot of words and less pictures inside the books, compare to television, television has pictures and sound, we don’t have to read a lot of words in television. But some artist in television programme or film, bring a bad image to us. Then some children or youngers will imitate their behaviour. Some film also bring a wrong message to us, For example, they are always smoking in films. It seems that smoking is good and smart. It caused many youngers imitate them smoking.

In conclusion, books, television and film have many advantages and disadvantages. I cannot write all in here. And we have chosen the media carefully.

2. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television has destroyed communication among friends and family. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

The invention of television is undoubtedly one of humankind’s greatest inventions. It is a way of communication among people of one country and different countries and nations. People watch TV to find out about the latest news, weather, sports, etc. It is a great way to learn new and extend one’s range of interests. Scientists say that children spend the same amount of hours in front of TV as they do in school. I think that this can be said about many grown people too. Also, television is a great means of eliminating stress and tension. One can relax and leave one’s troubles behind lying on one’s favorite sofa and watching a comedy. However, some people believe that television has destroyed communication among friends and family.

Personally, I do not agree with this statement. A couple centuries ago people spent their time gambling, reading, gossiping or playing chess. I do not think that television is a cause of destroyed communication among family members and friends. First of all, if members of a family have common interests and they want to make each other happy they will always find many ways to spend their time together and be close. Otherwise, if people avoid each other and they do not have anything to share with each other they will find television a great way to escape from this miserable existence. I believe that many people chose family and their friends over some soap operas or a movie.

Second of all, I think that television can be a great resource of subjects to discuss. Many people watch different educational programs to find out more about their environment, nature, wild life animals, economic situations, etc. So, when they gather with their friends they discuss important issues and arque with each other in looking for the truth.

My husband and I often watch the news channel to keep abreast of the latest news. After that we always discuss some issues we concerned about. Also, we like to watch a TV show “the funniest animals”. We like this program because it makes us laugh. I can not imagine how these programs can prevent our communication and be harmful to our relations.

To summarize, I would like to add that if people want to communicate with each other they will find a way to do it. Otherwise, if television were not existent, people would find other escapes and reasons not to be with each other such as drugs, gambling, etc.

3. News editors decide what to broadcast on television and what to print in newspapers. What factors do you think influence these decisions? Do we become used to bad news? Would it be better if more good news was reported?

News editors decide what to broadcast on television and what to print in newspapers. There are two factors that influence their decisions. The first is the kind of customers they tend on. Because each kind of readers and watchers has its own features. For example, if your customers are almost teenagers, you have to concentrate on something attracting them such as stories, photographs about singer stars, film stars, funny tales, and young fashion. It will be very silly if you try to provide teenagers with economic, politic news. On the contrary, business men and politicians may never read news about James Blunt or Keira Knightley. Therefore, what influence news editors’ decisions the most is the taste of their customers.

The second is the hot, the attraction of news. Who will reads or watches your news if it was one year, one month ago even last week? The answer is nobody absolutely. In the energetic and competitive world nowadays, people always ask for really new news. So that to satisfy customers, there is a pressure on all editors to find continually what has already happened not only yesterday but even an hour ago. Or else, they will lose their customers. None of editors wants that bad future.

On television or in newspaper, we seem to become used to bad news. It is a little of difficult for us to meet a piece of good news. We can’t deny that bad things occur on the earth day by day. However, news editors try to gain more and more customer, which means more and more money, by bad news. Because bad news makes us curious. We want to know why it is bad, what it is about, whether it influences us or not. As a result, we will buy newspapers or watch television to find out. And the happiest people are, of course, news editors.

I think it would be better if more good news was reported. Bad news makes us worry and sad. Whereas good news makes us happy. How much bad news is, there should be the same amount of good news. So, we can give something bad a lot of thought while still be joyful with good news. Any inequalities between good news and bad news should be avoided. That is the best solution.

Now, we can’t live without news. Thereby, the role of news editors is very important. We should support them. And what they have to do is try their best to provide us useful news, both good and bad.

4. Many people believe that television programs are of no value for children. Do you agree? Why or why not? Provide reasons and examples to support your response.

Televisual media has become a pervasive force in the lives of families around the world today. Yet, a central question remains regarding whether watching television is harmful or beneficial for children. An analysis of this question reveals that television programs present three major concerns in the case of children, including depictions of violence, the use of profane language, and the representation of poor moral role models.

Television programs that portray violence are a paramount concern for parents nowadays. Recent research has shown that children may commit acts of violence because they wish to emulate the behavior that they see on television. This is especially true when violent acts are committed by well-known action “heroes.” In addition, television programs show cartoon figures, as well as actors, committing violent acts. Using comic situations to depict violent themes causes further problems with the way in which young people view violence.

Television programs that contain profane or disrespectful language also worry parents with young children. Because censorship laws have relaxed over the past few decades, it has become very common for television programs of each and every kind to show characters expressing impolite, rude, and insulting utterances to one another. Bearing resemblance to the case of portrayals of violence, children unfortunately often try to imitate these actions they watch on their television screens.

Finally, some parents are upset about the moral behavior depicted on television. As they struggle to teach their children moral and ethical values, parents might despair about the lack of morals and ethics represented in some of the so-called role models on television. For instance, certain characters not only have no remorse for their immoral actions, but also frequently go unpunished by larger society.

Because of these factors, many parents believe that television programs send their youth the wrong kinds of messages. The emulation of this poor behavior by their children is something they wish to avoid at all costs, and they have accordingly decided to ban television in their households for these reasons.

5. Television has had a significant influence on the culture of many societies. To what extent would you say that television has positively or negatively affected the cultural development of your society?

It has been around forty years since television was first introduced into Australian households and people today still have mixed views on whether it has a positive or a negative influence on the society.

Many people believe that television damages culture. It promotes the stronger cultures of countries such as Britain and North America and weakens the cultures of less wealthy countries. This is because the stronger, wealthier countries are able to assert their own culture by producing more programs that are shown widely around the world. These programs then influence people, particularly young people, in the countries where they are shown.

Also, because television networks need to attract large audiences to secure their financial survival, they must produce programs which are interesting to a broad range of people. In Australia this range is very broad because we are a multicultural society and people of all ages like to watch television. To interest all these different people, most television programs are short in length, full of action and excitement, do not require much intelligence or knowledge to understand, and follow universal themes common to all cultures, such as love and crime. Television programs which concentrate on or develop themes pertinent to one particular culture are not so successful because they interest a smaller audience.

Nevertheless we much acknowledge that television does have some positive effects on the cultures within a society as well. People who do not live within their own culture can, in a limited way, access it through the multicultural station on the television. For example, Aboriginal children who have grown up in white families, or migrants and international students living in Australia, can watch programs from their own culture on the television.

In conclusion, I hold the view that television promotes and strengthens those cultures that are wealthy and influential while it weakens the cultures that are already in a weakened position.

6. The mass media, including television, radio and newspapers, have great influence in shaping people’s ideas. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

The mass media have a powerful influence in shaping our lives. We have come to depend on them for information and entertainment, and in doing so we let them affect important aspects of our lives.

The undeniable usefulness of the media in almost instantly providing information about events around the world is largely taken for granted. But in our dependence on the media we have allowed them to mould our notions and opinions of events, places and people. Though few of us probably think about it, our conceptions of, say, our elected officials spring from television images and newspaper stories. Most of us will never meet prime ministers or presidents, but anyone who is regularly exposed to the media will have an opinion of them. When it is time to cast our vote, we will make our decision based on how the media portray the candidates. We are similarly swayed by coverage of wars. The media, representing the values of their owners, societies and governments, tend to report wars with a bias; which is the ‘good’ side and which the ‘bad’ is determined for us by reporters, editors and commentators, and sure enough the public begins to form opinions that reflect the coverage they see, hear and read in the major media.

The media are also influential in the way they facilitate the spread of culture and lifestyle. The so-called ‘global youth culture’, in which one finds young people around the world displaying a common interest in music, clothing styles and films, is an example of the media’s enormous sway in this regard. A popular figure such as Michael Jackson would never be so well known were it not for the media’s extensive reach into every society on the globe.

Thus I would argue that the mass media’s influence is certainly great. Indeed, with technological advancements such as the Internet bringing even more forms of electronic media to our homes and workplaces, it is likely the media’s influence will grow even stronger.

IELTS Essay: News

by Dave | Real Past Tests | 10 Comments

This is an IELTS writing task 2 sample answer essay on the topic of whether or not people should focus on reading local or international news from the real IELTS exam.

Please consider supporting me on Patreon.com/howtodoielts to receive my exclusive IELTS Ebooks – you can even sign up for private live lessons with me!

Some people focus on news in their own country, while others think it is more important to be aware of international news.

Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Many readers now feel it is more important to stay informed concerning international news items, rather than local ones. In my opinion, though international news can be interesting, local stories contain greater relevance and are therefore more important.

Consumers of international news point out its entertainment value. The majority of people reading news from other countries recognize it has essentially no impact on their own life. However, for many articles from abroad also tend to hold greater appeal. An individual in the United Kingdom, for example, might become bored of local politics and repetitive, provincial stories. There is likely to be more excitement gained in reading about global conflicts, trade disputes, foreign elections, political unrest and environmental catastrophes in distant nations. The reader may not be aware of their own intentions, but these stories are primarily a way to pass the time and be entertained.

However, the entertainment value of international news is less important than relevant local reporting. For example, local news has become essential reading during the recent Covid-19 pandemic. Individuals have little choice but to read articles about the particular strain in their nation, the number of active cases, and the restrictions being urged or mandated by public authorities. If an individual is unaware of such news, they may violate a rule and put themselves and others at risk. The value of local news applies to less pressing emergency situations as well and may include stories about local elections, corruption in politics, crime rates, and various other stories of interest.

In conclusion, despite the value of international news as a source of entertainment, local news should be prioritized given its actual significance. Individuals should strive to ignore as much news as possible and only stay informed about pertinent issues.

1. Many readers now feel it is more important to stay informed concerning international news items, rather than local ones. 2. In my opinion, though international news can be interesting, local stories contain greater relevance and are therefore more important.

As per the old age theory, humans are termed as social animals. Being social, means a person is concerned about the surroundings, what is happening, whether it is for good or otherwise or vice versa. In this world, where one specie of human is divided into different countries, people are interested to keep themselves aware of the things, having news of the everything that effects them or the human civilization as a whole. Some people are interested in knowing the news related to only that part of the earth where they are living, means their own country, whereas there are many who considers that being aware of international news or events is more important. It can be said that it is the matter of the choice and one should be aware of everything, in my news focus on news in one’s own country is very important.

People interested in their own county news have view point that it reveals or make them aware of the things which are going to have direct influence upon them. For example, if any law is made in parliament of country, it is going to have direct impact on its citizens rather than the persons living in other countries. If any natural calamity is happened, or any other related thing, it is going to effect its residents on the first spot.

People , who pay more focus or emphasize to be aware of international news have several other points to support their opinion. Due to advancement of technology, there is nothing that can be limited to one country. For example, as there are IT giant companies, having their offices in whole of the world, then how can a person working in one country will not be effected by the action taken by the organization in any other country. They treat whole world as one and feels them effected by anything that is happening in any part of the world. Whatever happens, they feel personal concerns without bothering the boundary lines.

It can be said that it mainly depends upon the view of each and every individual and sometimes also on the nature of work, a person is pursuing. If a person is having business in various countries, he would be interested more in international news, similarly if a student is keen to pursue studies in foreign country, he will feel more related to that sort of news, if someone have relatives living in different countries, then anything happening in any part of the world is going to effect them. In my opinion, a person should be aware of everything happening on international level as in the modern world, one can’t survive by being living in its comfort zone but more focus should be on the national news as it is the thing that will give its result at a very fast pace. Being aware globally should not be on the cost of being unaware locally.

Good work, Pooja but some phrases are a little informal and it is way too long for this kind of essay!

Keep working hard!

Lots of grammar mistakes, many sentences are out of topic, too lengthy. This essay will not get more than a 5 band score.

Advice from one student to another Dont write more than 300 words. Max 350. The longer your essay, the more mistakes you will make. Keep it topic related. Improvise grammar.

Writing task 2

The Exposure of International Media Such as Films- IELTS Writing Task 2

Limited-Time Offer : Access a FREE 10-Day IELTS Study Plan!

The exposure of international media such as films, TV and magazines has impacts on local culture. What do you think the impacts have been? Do you agree that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

Direct Question Essay

Introduction

Paraphrase the essay topic and mention the view.

Body Paragraphs

International media can be a great source of information about the diversity of cultures around the world.

International media can also influence negative traits like violence in the minds of the viewers.

Summarize the essay topic and provide a concluding view.

Sample Essay

It is an undeniable fact that mass media is the most powerful instrument to influence the public. With the technological advancement that humanity has achieved, digital media has become a catalyst in spreading information and reaching every corner of the world. There is a debate on the nature of this impression left by international media. In my opinion, the overall effects are positive and even beneficial. The following paragraphs will explore the advantages and disadvantages of the impact of information media.

First and foremost, we must acknowledge the vast reach and influence that any form of media can have in the 21st century. It is quite evident that the circulation of information through television, print media or motion pictures has a colossal impact on communities and local cultures all over the globe. Consequently, this phenomenon has numerous benefits. The availability of foreign content like movies and music, especially in English, French or even German, has helped many non-native speakers to improve their understanding of these widely used languages. People are now more aware and thereby tolerant of the myriad of cultures and societies that coexist in different parts of the world, thanks to the portrayal of certain characters in films and tv shows. Additionally, the spread of positivity through similar channels has become fashionable as we can observe individuals who are constantly at work for the betterment of the entire human community. Accordingly, such endeavours are undertaken by several others who are encouraged to do the same.

Nevertheless, there are certain drawbacks to mass media and popular culture becoming an inherent part of our lives. The effect that mass culture has on a majority of people, especially the younger generation, can be upsetting and sometimes even agitating . The mania for online recognition and popularity is one of the biggest downsides of international media and its portrayal of celebrities. Furthermore, there is always a possibility of misinterpretation of information disseminated through popular forms of media like cinema and tv programmes, which seriously deteriorate the judgement and morality of the public, especially the younger generation who are more vulnerable to such experiences.

Finally, there are both pros and cons to the prevalence of international media in this current era. If employed cautiously, this facility can be a blessing to the human race.

Band 9 Sample Essay

There is no doubt that the world is a global village, where mass media plays an indispensable role in influencing people. It serves as a source of entertainment while educating the public about current events, cultural heritage, ecological sustainability, and many more topics of relevance. Some argue that media tendencies will ruin a country’s culture and have detrimental implications for people’s lives, while others oppose this notion. As a result, I believe that an exposure to international media has significant impact and that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, which I will discuss in the following essay.

To begin with, it is indisputable that in today’s fast-paced world, the international media has great reach and power over individuals. The media plays a crucial role in intensifying globalization, facilitating cultural interaction, and facilitating knowledge flow between countries through worldwide news broadcasts, video programming, film, new technologies, and music. Furthermore, international media allows the diffusion of diverse cultures by showcasing various cultural traditions, allowing audiences to fully comprehend and accept cultural diversity.

Further, watching international movies and listening to western music in English, Spanish, and French has aided many non-native speakers in improving and enhancing their grasp of these languages. As a result, the widespread use of television and other forms of media has had a substantial impact on communities and local cultures worldwide. Finally, the more ideas and points of view are disseminated through media; the more humans will understand one another, reducing prejudice between nations.

However, some drawbacks to international media should not be overlooked, such as the fact that many people attempting to imitate the lifestyle of other cultures will ultimately result in their country’s cultural disintegration, as well as the fact that it can cause difficulties in people’s personal lives, causing a drift in their relationships. Furthermore, media culture’s impact on youngsters can be stressful and even unnerving at times. Some media content linked to violence and aggressive behavior, for example, may not be appropriate or suitable for the younger generation.

To put it in a nutshell, the proliferation of international media in the 21st century has both merits and demerits. However, its benefits exceed the drawbacks because exposure to international media can significantly minimize prejudice across nations and increase awareness of different languages and cultures.

IELTS Power of the Media Essay

by Trang Dang (Vietnam)

Media Essays

Whoever controls the media also controls opinions and attitudes of the people and there is little can be done to rectify this. To what extend do you agree or disagree? Since communication technology has developed rapidly, the influence of the media is undeniable. However, there have been questions about how powerful it really is. Many argue that it has the power to control others’ views and attitudes, and little can be done to remedy the problem. From my point of view, I partly disagree with this idea. On the one hand, it is reasonable that the media governs a number of people in society. Having control over the media means preferred information is selected while disliked information is censored and controllers’ opinions and attitudes could also be added to the news. As low educated people tend to believe most of what they saw, or heard, it is clear that the media has control over these people. On the other hand, there are many people whose opinions are not affected by the press (or the media). These people are able to omit distortions, and think independently. In my home country, a country where everyone is educated similarly and even forced to think similarly; there are still a range of distinctive views about a controversial issue, apart from the government’s idea. Therefore, it is wrong to say that the media controls people. There is a huge difference between these two groups of people: the education gap. According to this, may be the only way to reduce the power of the media is education. Higher educated people would not just believe with what they see or hear because they have the ability to think outside of the box. In conclusion, I am against because even if there are people being controlled by the media, there are still many who have their independent opinions. Therefore, the only solution to this problem is education, as it is the only difference between these groups. *** Please help me with this essay. Is there anything that can help improve this?


	I think that getting the ideas across instantly matters; you must be relentlessly clear and waste no time in saying it. If your reader find it hard to grasp the main idea, they will give up trying-and think less of you. Good luck with IELTS! Cheers!

Death of Newspapers and Magazines

by Rajan (Gandhinagar)

Some people say that the Internet will soon become the preferred method of delivery of the news and information, causing newspapers and magazines to gradually disappear. Do you agree or disagree? In this contemporary world the ethical competition between internet media and printed media is quite visible. Few prefer conventional method of reading while others like digital methods. However, I tend to open that the internet delivered reading will soon prevail amongst the readers. To begin, paper based media has its own merits. Although these books are heavy to carry and requires lot of care, readers can always make notes and highlights keywords which is not possible in digital media. Another thing is that in this methodology, a reader does not require electricity, internet or any other hardware just the printed media serves the purpose. Also according to a recent study in UK, people reading printed books over digital are more likely to possess better memory than internet readers. On the other hand, with the growth of smartphones, laptops and other internet supported devices the way of reading and studying has evolved among the readers. The digital media in internet is free of cost with wide range of information, new and articles. Nowadays even the educational institutions have started to move towards digital books and libraries as internet is dominant over the young generation. Besides digital media eliminates the need of paper, which indeed helps the nature. As per a recent survey, in organizations people now prefer digital methods of sharing information as it not only saves paper and nature but is also secured. To conclude, I would reiterate the fact that internet reading has significantly increased among readers and soon paper based reading will have its place in history.

Death of the Radio Essay

With the development of media online, there is no future for the radio. To what extend do you agree? Media online has become increasingly popular these days. While some people believe that radio might disappear soon, however, In my opinion, I totally disagree with the given statement Although media online is developing rapidly around the world, people living in rural areas may still struggle to access internet coverage. In other words, Media online can only be used if internet signal could reach. For example, a recent survey conducted by JIO stated that there will no Broadband accessibility in rural areas especially during bad weather. Otherwise, radio might remain its function to broadcast information to its audience because it does not depend on the internet coverage for broadcasting even though when bad weather or natural disaster occur. Hence, Net accessibility is totally depends on some factors nevertheless, it is not in the case of radiotelegraph. Admittedly, while Wifi is not free of charge like radio, poor people cannot afford the price of wifi payments.Furthermore, Radio is a prevalent piece of equipment installed in a car. Most people consider listening to FM will be the ideal idea when driving. Consequently, people can take full advantage of their time and obtaining the latest information, such as news, weather forecast, society, and so forth. For example, a recent survey conducted by FM stated that in the US, 90% of the population chosen FM while going long drives. Moreover, FM broadcasting is accessible to the audience with free of charge On the occasions where people cannot watch TV, read newspaper, to surf the net, they can resort to radiotelegraph. Therefore, even though there is a huge development in technology, the role of radio will never vanish. To sum up, although the Online technology is developing expansively and almost covers most areas in the world, there exist some issues regarding its signal coverage. By contrast, radio could cover almost all places around the world even in emergency period. Thus, it is evident that there will always be future for radio.

Death of Newspapers Essay

by Nia Georgieva (Bulgaria)

Newspapers Essay

In the future, nobody will buy printed newspapers or books because they will be able to read everything they want online without paying. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? After some years, people will not anymore face the need of buying books, printed newspapers or magazines, because the online network will be so developed that they could freely be able to read and gather all of the information needed online without paying a penny. I fully agree that in the near future the paper resource of information which is currently the main one, will be replaced by the easier and more convenient online method. Firstly, printed newspapers and books are no longer up-to-date, nowadays. Due to Corona virus, people have been obliged to stay particularly at their homes, which has led to times more people consuming information from online news, rather than from the traditional paper resources. What’s more is that everyone is aware that the information on the internet is more efficient, as well as better represented and organised. For example, you can find whatever you want on the net just with one click of your mouse and it doesn’t depend on which sphere of life your search concerns. Whilst if your newspaper is about horse riding , but you want to check the newest models of cars on the global market, it’s impossible to do so and then you have to buy another newspaper about cars, meaning few dollars more. Secondly, the present’s trend in recycling and acting in a more eco-friendly way will for sure reduce the producing of paper, including both books and newspapers, which, on the other hand, will increase their online version demand. For this reason every kind of paper-delivered information will be replaced by information delivered online through our computers and telephones. For instance, one step further of the eco-friendly people’s mind could be the usage of online students books saved in pdf format, instead of the commonly spread paper books. Not only this, but the fact that almost every school this year is working online, with students attending all of their classes through the network , gives us a clear need for more online information than the paper-delivered. In conclusion, I think that if we take the time machine and go into the far future, we shouldn’t be surprised if we see people using the internet as the only source of information, without any kind of need for buying newspapapers which cost money.

Radio or Television Essay

by jeordge (usa)

Some people think that radio is more enjoyable than television. What is your opinion? When people are free at home, they like to spend their time using technical products such as mobile, television and radio. There are some people who believe that free time with radio is more interesting than television, but in reality most of the people always prefer television in their leisure time. In my opinion, television is more enjoyable than radio in modern era. Due to the advanced technology, so many improvements have been made in the television .For example, there are some televisions are available in market which can be connected with mobile, and it gives access to people to watch their episodes and movies in big screen. There are so many games can be played on televisions that can keep the children occupied, and parents can do their household thing in their own time. Other than that access to the internet is also possible with the help of chrome cast, so it makes people job very easy to get information all around the world. On the second side, some people like to spend time on listening radio because this is a traditional way of gathering information, but in the advanced time there are so many limitations can be found in radio. Radio is very outdated source of entertainment, and there are limited channels available which can be based on the domestic news not internationally. Range problem is also found in radio in the remote areas which disturbs people entertainment. There is no access of internet on the radio, so people cannot find the information outside of their country too. In conclusion, some people prefer listening radio while they are free, but most of the people always go for television. In my opinion, it would be better for the radio organisations if they make radio more modernised according to the demand of current generation, but it is impossible to make people fully neglected from television.

Future of Newspapers Essay

In the future, nobody will buy printed newspapers or books because they will be able to read everything they want online without paying. To what extend do you agree or disagree with this statement? After some years, people will not anymore face the need of buying books, printed newspapers or magazines, because the online network will be so developed that they could freely be able to read and gather all of the information needed online without paying a penny. I fully agree that in the near future the paper resource of information which is currently the main one, will be replaced by the easier and more convenient online method.

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:

Restatement of thesis
Prediction or recommendation

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.

I strongly believe that, access to diverse culture helps everyone to think more openly about the world, and if people use this opportunity sincerely, than surely it will not hamper the local culture either.

Social media, TV, and magazines play a significant role in acquiring knowledge for millions of people because they enable them to know about the current situations in the world. In other words, viewers can explore different customs, technologies, and traditions which surely help them to do well their regular life tasks. For example, children watch different science fiction movies and science related TV shows which help them a lot to enhance their core strength in science. Moreover, by knowing other cultures and traditions, people feel more enlighten about their life.

On the other hand, there are a few downsides to social media that have a negative impact on youth life. The social media and film industries are also spreading vulgar content, and many children follow these degraded cultures blindly. Many people have the tendency to follow other customs if they get attached because of these bad influences that society and local culture are constantly ruining.

In my view, the influence of international media and films tends to be more beneficial than detrimental because they bring a positive message to all.

To conclude, if people are able to use international media and magazines properly, then it will surely have a positive impact on their lifestyles and cultures.

IELTS General Writing Task 1: Key Highlights

Here’s what we want you to keep in mind:

The IELTS General Training test is usually required for vocational training, such as in the construction, hospitality, leisure, and tourism industries.

You need to write at least 150 words

Ideal Duration	20 mins

IELTS General Writing Task 1: Format

Depending on the context, you can frame your letter to be formal, semi-formal, or in an informal setting. Your question will be in this format:

Who to address the letter to
Main points to include in the letter

Example:

Write a letter to your friend. In your letter

Recommend the best time of year to visit and why
Describe the types of accommodation your friend could choose
Say what you would like to show your friend in your country

Typically, your letter should not exceed the word limit of 150. Ideally, you should complete and review the letter in the first 20 minutes of the IELTS Writing Test. Sticking to this time limit is important, as Task 2 is longer and requires more time.

Here’s what else you should keep in mind:

Stick to the letter-writing format. Ensure your letter has all the fundamental elements, such as the salutation, date and signatures.
Ensure that the tone of your letter is relevant to the context. For instance, if your topic was to write a letter to a recruiter, you must not make it informal!
The purpose of the letter must be preserved throughout. You must not deviate away from the given context.

How to Answer IELTS General Writing Task 1?

Letters may no longer be delivered by pigeons, but it is still a relevant skill worth learning! Not your forte? Here are the top 3 strategies to help anyone craft a compelling letter.

Introduce right: Your opening paragraph is crucial and must immediately convey the purpose of your letter.

For instance, if you were writing to enquire about a position, you would say, “I’m writing to enquire regarding the position of a content writer at your company.”

Choose a relevant tone: Depending on the letter's receiver, judge the tone you will use.

For example, if you’re writing a letter to your friend, you might want to keep it semi-formal to informal.

An informal letter should be conversational; you can use direct speech to achieve this. You can also use words like “Dear <name>” to establish your tone.

However, if you’re writing a formal letter, you should say, “Dear sir/madam,” use passive language and longer sentences.

Structure your letter: Decide the order in which you will cover all the bullet points given to you. Make sure the letter has a logical flow to it. Your letter will start with an introduction (greetings and stating the purpose), move on to the body (highlighting main points) and a closing (signing off).
You should write full sentences for your answers.
You should not use notes or bullet points.
Write your answers on the answer sheet.
You can make notes on the question paper, but the examiner won't see them.

The focus for this year is “solidarity with refugees”, whether through welcoming and including them in our communities, advocating for policies that protect and support them, or working towards solutions to their plight.

Coming the week after new data revealed the number of forcibly displaced people worldwide has risen to an unprecedented 120 million, World Refugee Day offers a chance to show our support for those whose lives have been uprooted by conflict and persecution.

We hope these examples of global solidarity will inspire you to get involved and stand #WithRefugees and others #ForcedToFlee.
