[IELTS WRITING PART 2]


Communication between people all over the globe is getting easier over time due to development of technology. However relationships between humans seem going to the opposite direction. This essay will demonstrate that while communicating is better than ever before, connections between people have not improved that much.

Digital technology has been improved in an unimaginable scale over the last decades, unlocked almost every communicating barrier between people. Facebook, Zalo, Instagram, Line, Kakaotalk, etc have emerged in my lifetime, enable anyone to connect to the world, as long as there is internet connection. Compared to the 19th century, when older generations had to use letters, telegrams, and other vintage – slow approaches, nowadays, just with a smart phone, we can contact to anyone in the world. Myself is a prime example. Last year, even though I worked in the Philippines – about 3000 kilometers from my homeland, I spoke with my parents as frequently as I wanted, using Skype – an application allows people all over the world have video chat in pairs or in groups. Clearly, we are living in the era of easy communication.

However, forming meaningful relationships has not enhanced, in some cases, even worse. Simply because connections tremendously rely on face – to – face communication and surely other forms cannot replace. Many recent studies find that talking directly is the key to trust and shape personal connections. On the other hand, a majority of teenagers overuse social networks for communication purposes. As the results their connections have been affected negatively.

Advance technology has undoubtedly changed the way people communicate, but the side effect is the connections is getting looser.

IELTS 12 - WRITING TASK 2 - TEST 6

Nowadays, in some countries, young adults account for the larger part of their population. There is a lot of controversy about the advantages and disadvantages of this situation. Further, it raises the questions, what kinds of population policy should be applied in each nation? And, is there an ideal population structure for all contries?. From my perspective, there are more benefits than drawbacks for countries with a young population structure. As a young Vietnamese adutls, I consider my country as a prime example. Our situation has a number of advantages. Firstly, a large number of young citizens ensures a strong labour force, which is very important to the growth of gross domestic product (or GDP in short). According to a 2016 study of Hanoi National University, the young work force contributed approximately 70 per cent of GDP in Vietnam. Secondly, young labour can easily apply new technologies and science achievements in work, which may seem very challenging for some

ETHAN FROME

By Edith Warton Chapter 1: BEGINNINGS Winter in Starkfield If you know Starkfield Massachusetts, you know the post office there. If you know the post office, you have probably seen Ethan Frome driving up to it in his buggy; and you have probably wondered who he was. It was there that, several years ago, I saw him for the first time. He was a noticeable figure. His tall, strong body was badly twisted, and much shorter on the right side than on the left. He moved slowly and painfully, pulling himself along. Just a few steps from his buggy to the post office were clearly difficult for him. His face has a sad, grim look. It was the face and body of an old man, and I was surprised to hear that that he was only fifty-two. I learnt this from Harmon Gow, a man who knew all the families around Starkfield. "He's been like that since his bad accident, nearly twenty-four years ago", said Harmon. "But Fromes don't die young, Ethan'll live to a hundred, probab

IELTS 13 - TEST 2 - TASK 1

The provided bar chart illustrates the proportion of accommodation owners and renters in England and Wales over a 93 - year period. The data is given in percentages, not absolute numbers. In general, there was a dramatic shift from renting to owning for virtually the entired period. However, that pattern broke down over the final 10-year period as house ownership began to decline. At the outset, in 1918, home owners made up barely more than 20 per cent of households. That number increased sharply and consistently until 2001. The two groups reached absolute parity in 1971, as each were 50 per cent. The trend continued unabated for the next 30 years, as home ownership reached a peak of nearly 70 percent. The final chart, by contrast reveals a break in the trend line which had moved in only one direction for more than 80 years. That 2011 chart showed a decline in home ownership and a slight rise in rental households.. Overall, a dramatic longterm trend in home ownersh
