In these days, people in the world are using more technology to communicate to they friends and their family, principally with who live far away then because calls are very expensive and they are abandon bit by bit post and phone. Email is very easy to use and cheap. But sometimes they stop meeting they because of the technology and lose relationships. Today, the relationships are virtual and people know people by internet. Some people are very lacking and know bad people on internet who may don’t want know people just money and are very evil. Internet is very cool and interesting, but can be very dangerous too. Had time internet was a safed place, now no more it. Large banks allow them clients to move them account online. People can see notices, weather and have fun too.

We live in the world of globalization and new technologies. Some people think that technologies help to make our life easier, but others don’t think that these technologies do us good, because people get too bound to them and it’s sometimes hard for them to do without them.
From my point of view, people are really dependent on new technologies. I think that modem children don’t even know how to use encyclopedias now because they find everything with one single click. Technologies have really become a pan of our life. Just imagine that there could be more space for bookcases in your room when there was no TV, computer, Play station etc there. If people are left alone somewhere in the forest. I don’t think they will be able to make fire and will know what to do to survive, because they are used to finding instant information on the internet. They don’t need to keep it in mind anymore.
However, some people claim that this dependence is logical and can’t be avoided. They say that we can’t stop technological progress and have nothing left but to welcome it and to use it to the full.
To sup up I would like to say that everything depends on a person. If he or she is smart enough to use technologies and to read books simultaneously, he or she will know how to survive when needed.
Мы живем в мире глобализации и новых технологий. Некоторые люди считают, что технологии помогают делать нашу жизнь проще, но другие не думают, что эти технологии приносят нам пользу, потому что люди слишком сильно к ним привязываются и порой им очень трудно обходиться без них.
C моей точки зрения, люди действительно зависимы oт новых технологий. Я думаю, что современные дети даже не знают, как пользоваться энциклопедиями, потому что они могут найти все, что хотят, всего лишь с помощью одного нажатия клавиши. Технологии действительно стали частью нашей жизни. Только представьте, что в вашей комнате могло бы быть больше места для книжных шкафов, если бы в ней не было телевизора, компьютера, игровой приставки и т.д. Если людей оставить одних где-то в лесу, я не думаю, что они смогут разжечь костер и будут знать, что делать, чтобы выжить, так как они привыкли мгновенно находить информацию в Интернете. Им не нужно больше помнить обо всем этом.
Тем не менее, некоторые люди утверждают, что такая зависимость логична и что ее нельзя избежать. Они говорят, что мы не может ocтановить технологический прогресс и нам ничего другого не остается, как радушно его встретить и воспользоваться им в полном объеме.
B заключение я хотела бы сказать, что все зависит от человека. Если он или она достаточно умны, чтобы пользоваться новыми технологиями и читать книги одновременно, то он или она будут знать, как им выжить, при такой необходимости
Technologies have become a necessary part of people`s life. Many of us cannot do without gadgets, and that is why sometimes you can hear that people pay too much attention to their devices.
Personally, I think it is true. To begin with, it is difficult to imagine a person who can spend at least half an hour without a mobile phone. You often can see a company of teenagers sitting somewhere and staring at the mobile window instead of chatting to each other. Furthermore, sometimes people cannot stop buying something new. They consider expensive computers and gadgets as a sign of their prosperity. If the device is not the best and the newest, they feel discomfort and shame. Finally, computers can be harmful for a person. It is difficult to stop checking news feed or playing interesting computer games even if you know that you spend too much time on them and it can cause health problems.
However, there is an opposite point of view.
Some people are sure that using technology is caused by progress. It is more convenient to use a calculator than your mind for difficult math operations, so it is not a wonder that people prefer to use smart technologies.
There is something in what they say. Still, I think that people can become too lazy and begin to find way to replace even elementary actions by programs. It can be harmful for intellectual abilities.
In conclusion, I want to say that computers improve our life, but we should not forget about limits and use them wisely.
Технологии стали необходимой частью жизни людей. Многие из нас не могут обойтись без гаджетов, и поэтому иногда можно услышать, что люди слишком много внимания уделяют своим устройствам.
Лично я думаю, что это правда. Начнем с того, что сложно представить человека, который может провести хотя бы полчаса без мобильного телефона. Вы часто можете увидеть компанию подростков, которые сидят где-то и смотрят в экран мобильного телефона вместо того, чтобы общаться друг с другом. Кроме того, иногда люди не могут перестать покупать что-то новое. Они считают дорогие компьютеры и гаджеты признаком своего благополучия. Если устройство не самое лучшее и самое новое, они чувствуют дискомфорт и стыд. Наконец, компьютеры могут быть вредны для человека. Трудно перестать проверять новостную ленту или играть в интересные компьютерные игры, даже если вы знаете, что тратите на них слишком много времени, и это может вызвать проблемы со здоровьем.
Однако существует противоположная точка зрения. Некоторые люди уверены, что использование технологий обусловлено прогрессом. Для сложных математических операций удобнее пользоваться калькулятором, чем считать в уме, поэтому неудивительно, что люди предпочитают использовать умные технологии.
Есть что-то в том, что они говорят. Тем не менее, я думаю, что люди могут стать слишком ленивыми и начать находить способ заменить даже элементарные действия программами. Это может быть вредно для интеллектуальных способностей.
В заключение хочу сказать, что компьютеры улучшают нашу жизнь, но мы не должны забывать об ограничениях и использовать их с умом.

The more people use technology, the less they communicate. Чем больше люди используют технологии, тем меньше они разговаривают.
Too much information, no time to think. Очень много инфы, нет времени думать.
Technology helps you to keep up-to-date. Разработка подсобляет для вас идти в ногу со временем.
Talking with technology is impersonal. Разговор с технологией является безличным.
You can always keep in touch with your friends. Вы всегда сможете поддерживать связь со своими приятелями.
Technology lets you use language in new ways. Разработка дозволяет использовать язык по-новенькому.
Emoticons and texting are killing language. Смайлики и текстовые известья убивают язык.
Dear Hanif,
Where have you been recently? Have the aliens finally come and taken you away to their planet? Or have you been playing so many computer games that you havent had enough time to answer your friends emails?!
Its too late to send me an email, anyway, cause Im staying with my uncle and aunt in the country. Ive been here since Friday, and Im going to stay until the end of the month. Its wonderful here! So quiet and peaceful! why dont you and Neil come down for a weekend? The only thing is there are no computers here! And I cant even use my mobile! The signal strength is too low. Thats why Im writing you this letter I think its the first time Ive written a letter for more than a year!
What was the Critical Age concert like? Did you enjoy if? What a pity I missed it! Ive been listening to the radio all morning, but they havent played So Happy yet.
Anyway, Ive got to stop now. My uncles going into town, and hes going to post this for me.
Write me a letter if you still remember how to use a pen! OK?
I want to hear all your news.
Best wishes,
Daria
Дорогой Ханиф,
Где ты был в заключительное время? Вторженцы в конце концов-то прилетели и доставили тебя на свою планетку? Либо ты играешь в компьютерные забавы так много, что у тебя не было достаточно медли, чтоб ответить на электрические письма твоих приятелей?!
Очень поздно отправлять мне письмо по электронной почте, в любом случае, поэтому что я остаюсь с моим дядей и тетей в деревне. Я здесь с пятницы, и я собираюсь остаться до конца месяца. Тут примечательно! Так тихо и смирно! Почему бы для тебя и Нилу не приехать на выходные? Единственное, тут нет компьютеров! И я не могу даже использовать собственный мобильный телефон! Уровень сигнала очень низкий. Вот почему я пишу для тебя это письмо, я мыслю, что это первый раз, когда я написала письмо в течение более года!
Как концерт Критичного возраста? Для тебя понравилось? Как жалко, что я пропустила его! Я слушаю радио все утро, но они не игрались Так счастлив пока.
Во всяком случае, я обязана остановиться. Мой дядя собирается в город, и он собирается выслать это для меня.
Напиши мне письмо, если ты до сих пор помнишь, как воспользоваться ручкой! Превосходно?
Я желаю услышать все твои новинки.
С лучшими пожеланиями,
Дарья

Nowadays there are a lot of debates about technological progress. Some people think that it is good while others are strongly against. Which of these opposing opinions is more reasonable and convenience?
In my opinion, technological progress is a useful thing, because it gives many advantages to humanity. Firstly, the invention of the computer and the Internet has given us more opportunities. Now we can communicate with people without meeting face-to-face, send e-mails, learn different things without going to the library etc. Secondly, our medicine has become better. Many illnesses that were incurable several years ago do not constitute a danger now. Thirdly, we have a big progress in engineering.
Our engineers have made a lot of very useful things that make our life easier.
However, some people may object by saying that technological progress has given us many problems. For example, they can claim that sometimes modern technologies pollute the environment. It leads to different diseases of people and harms the ecology. Moreover, they believe that technologies make a lot of noise. Some people cannot sleep because of it and get depressed.
I do not agree with my opponents. Talking about pollution of the environment I would like to say that people should use the purification technologies. As for noise, it is not really a problem.

The rise and rapid expansion of technology has given us ample choice to how we communicate. If we need to get in touch with a loved one we can do so via phone call, text, email, Facebook, WhatsApp, Skype, SnapChat, Viber, the list is endless. We put our thoughts and ideas up for all to see on Facebook, Twitter, Pintrest, Tumbler and so on. We can even sum up our feelings in one emoji.
But just how much is too much?
The week one readings introduced ‘Priestley’s Paradox’:
‘Already we Viewers, when not viewing, have begun to whisper to one another that the more elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.’ (1957, cited in Eunson 2012, p. 7)
and the idea of a ‘dataholic’. With all this sophisticated technology are we becoming too dependant and addicted our technology, yet less communicative?
We prefer to text so that we can proof read and tone our messages to our partner, friends, colleagues and family members; it’s much easier to break some bad news in writing, with the help of a smiley face or an ‘x’. In many cases, we avoid conversation at all cost. The question this raised is, are we really communicating? Some people even feel a need to learn how to have a real conversation.
In her 2012 TED presentation of ‘Connected, but alone?’, Sherry Turkle expresses her idea of ‘As we expect more from technology, do we expect less from each other?’. She explores the idea that while we have (and with good reason) embraced technology, it is time to re-think the way we use our devices and the way we communicate with each other. Would you agree?

In my six decades of life, I have witnessed an astonishing regression in mass media. In the 50’s, radio and newspapers were the dominant forms of mass communications. We had a TV but only three channels and reception was spotty at best. We willingly performed artistic movements with our rabbit ears antenna in order to achieve maximum clarity. Heck, I would have held the antenna over my head for an hour if it would have gotten me a better picture of Annette Funicello on the Mickey Mouse Club. Maybe that’s what we’re missing out on today, participation, the sense that somehow this is a team sport. The technology of today has made it so easy to get every last pixel, that we just don’t appreciate the quality of the content as much. Now we just flood our senses with unlimited stimuli and hope something sticks. I really doubt that we would be so addicted to smartphones today if we all had to wear beanies with antennas, just to get a signal.
Good communication is a two-way street based on interactions and exchanges of information. At its best, it’s unrehearsed, unedited and unstructured but full of facts and wisdom waiting to be discovered and reflected upon. I can still remember the night JFK went on TV to talk about the Cuban Missile Crisis. I went to bed that night wondering if I would still be alive the next day. I have only experienced that level of communication a few times in my life. In 1969 I watched Neil Armstrong take a Giant Leap on a color TV and in 2001 I watched America come crashing down on my big screen with 100 cable channels of coverage. Unfortunately, each of these historic events became progressively less clear to me because of the advancing technology. Watching live coverage of the WTC disaster should have been completely and easily understood but it wasn’t because too many people twisted the story to fit their personal narratives. Speculation isn’t communication, it’s deceit and it’s intentional. We can’t know much of anything by turning on a smartphone. Without the opportunity to ask questions and experience the human response we are only getting about 10% of the necessary information we need to make value judgements and gain some degree of real wisdom.
The last thing our current media wants is an exchange of information. They clearly don’t want us to know what they know and they go to great lengths to make sure that never happens. Here’s a quote from Lewis Mumford in 1951 that seems to predict exactly why we have this problem with the media… “With the further development in the 20th century of the telephone and the radio and ultimately television, all of the inhabitants of the planet could theoretically be linked together for instantaneous communication as closely as the inhabitants of a village. Indeed, it is conceivable, though not at all probable, that the Sermon on the Mount could now be preached to the greater part of all mankind at the moment it was uttered, provided such a notorious agitator as Jesus of Nazareth could be admitted to studios controlled mainly in the interests of commercial advertisers or totalitarian governments, and allowed to speak without submitting a prepared script.” Let’s replay that last part once more, “allowed to speak without submitting a prepared script.” Does anyone else find that statement to be deeply disturbing? And he said this in 1951!
If mankind is ever going to achieve its potential for greatness we have to start with effective communication. The Sermon on the Mount was one of the very first instances of mass communication and those words are still being repeated today because Jesus made his case for all of humanity with clarity, interaction and thoughtful responses to anyone who asked a question. His message and wisdom have been with us for 2000 years even though Gutenberg didn’t invent the printing press till the 1400’s. Communication that matters doesn’t need technology to facilitate it. Communication that matters is available to everyone every day but we’re going to have to put down our smartphones first. We’re going to have to look into the eyes of the person we are communicating with, feel their emotions and respect their views as we speak and if we fail to evoke the responses we are hoping for, we will have to try again until we get it right. Maybe, by struggling to communicate, we will begin to understand and empathize with others and find a better way for all of us to go forward into the future. When we get our response ratio up to 1 to 1 then we will have the bright future Jesus promised us.

According to a recent study, the more time people use the internet, the less time they spend with real human beings. Should we worry about the effect this is having on social interaction or should we see the internet as a way of opening up new communication possibilities worldwide? What are your views?
In today’s society, the Internet has made its way into almost every home. It has found a place in the hearts of many over the decades. With the advent of the latest technologies, now Internet is assessable not only through computers but also through mobile phones, providing an easy and convenient access to the web. In correlation to that, a research has brought to light that the more time people surf the Internet, the lesser is the time they spend with humans. This is certainly something that everyone should worry about. Though admittedly web is a great place for socializing, it can also pose negative impacts on human interactions.
Currently, we have many social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Friendster. These sites are places where we can find and make friends. Besides that, there are also messengers that enable anyone to chat, for instance MSN and Yahoo messenger. A study by the UNICEF shows that social networking websites have been voted as the fastest and easiest method of generating friendship compared to sending letters. Through these websites, we can without difficulty meet new friends and learn about their cultures as well as the traditions in their countries. Apart from that, we can also share our views on global and political issues which definitely open our horizons. To conclude, one can certainly benefit from communicating through Internet as it involves people from all over the world.
Nevertheless, looking from the another perspective, the more people spend their time online communicating with others from any part of the world, undoubtedly, the lesser is the time spent with their families and friends. According to a study done in Malaysia, most parents agree that their children tend to be so enthralled in chatting, that peeling them away from the computer can prove to be a complicated task. Consequently, they lack face to face interaction with family members and friends which will eventually result in them leading sedentary lifestyles and having poor social interaction skills.
Technology always has its positive and negative aspects. It is we who must be rational to analyze what is good and bad. Advisably, we must prepare ourselves well to be able to handle situations with a degree of reason and rationality. In short, we can utilize the Internet to unravel new communication possibilities but at the same time, human interactions must not be neglected.

Your writing is of high quality. You would certainly not have a problem at IELTS. I gave above suggestions, thinking they help improve your essay further.
thanks de silva for the suggestions … 
That’s almost perfect essay 
keep it up
thank you so much ajit rai. i appreciate that very much. i believe it is not too late for me to know the proper structure of an IELTS essay. i just have a few questions. hope you can clear them up for me.
1. if the essay is about to what extent do you agree or disagree with the view, then i can follow what you have mentioned above. first paragraph with the last line having the thesis statement. 2nd and 3rd having why i agree and the 4th is about the against points. but here in 4th paragraph i can just go totally against the points i mentioned in 2nd and 3rd right? i do not have to put arguments against my opinions which can be given/asked by any individual that should be encountered with a much bigger advantage in support of my opinion?
2. if the essay is about to do you agree or disagree with the view, then i can follow what u have mentioned above.
— i hope u understand what m trying to say.. sorry if i confuse u.. once again thanks for the proper structure..
— i simply love the quote you posted on my profile and also on other profiles… those quotes are encouraging… thanks !
and if you dont mind, can you give some suggestions on how to begin with the first paragraph? i always spend most of my time tinkng what to write in the first paragraph.. is ther any guidelines that i cn follow?
Hello Sangeetha,
well the question u asked is very right… and if m understanding ur query correctly then in IELTS or any essay- the fourth para of the above structure should have small arguments against ur opinion.
NOTE-do not mention a very strong argument against ur opinion for which u dont have a good argument to counter… i know this sounds tricky-i also had the same problems but if u wanna really clear ur thought-just read the latest essays i posted n pay attention to the fourth para specifically… i used tomention a slight disadvantage but i used to counter it with a bigger advantage… if u need more help- u can email me too at ajit88rai@gmail.com
i hope i satisfied ur query

According to a recent study, the more time people use the internet, the less time they spend with real human beings.
Whenever you say something like this, you have to cite the study. I mean, sometimes you are not REQUIRED to cite it, but you should require yourself to cite it. Otherwise, some of the strength leaks out of your writing.
This is such a great thread!! Lots of progress is shown here…
