There are various phrases you can use to do this. Here are three examples. They all say the same thing using different language.
Some people argue that social media apps like Facebook or Twitter can impact on people not in a proper way, destroying their social abilities while others say that sites can help us to make more new relationships in an easier way.
ReplyDeleteTo begin with the first viewpoint it really has a place to be. Lots of people, especially teenagers, become more and more addicted to social media and for some of them means of communication is texting. Teens spend most of the day scrolling posts, watching TikTok videos and keeping an eye on other people’s updates. Due to this dependence, possibly, it can lead to losing abilities to form personal relationships in real life.
Nevertheless, some people can use it correctly. I mean using it as a source of knowledge, creating business accounts or blogs to attract people and, surely, find new friends from other destinations, make a first step to a new relationship with an interesting person.
To summarise all that is stated above, I would like to say that social media sites were created to make our personal and work life easier, not to destroy mental health, make us addicted etc. If you want your life to be full of events and various relationships you will need to develop self-restraint against the temptation to degrade on the Internet.
Well-done, pay attention to your mistakes:

In today's time we can't imagine our life without social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. There are lots of points of view about this part of a large number of Internet resources. Some people strictly believe that social media sites have a negative influence on young people and their ambitions. On the other hand, others think that such kinds of sites bring people together and have a positive impact on young people.
ReplyDeleteI strongly believe that social networks have more positive effects than negative sides. The main reasons why I think so:
Communication.
We correspond with friends, congratulate them on holidays, find old friends. Many of people you interact on social media, you wouldn't interact in the real life.
Development of specific skills. In social networks you can find a lot of useful and informative information. Music, videos, films, books, articles - it's impossible to list everything. You can quickly find the information you need.
Keeping the track of events. A lot of people strongly opine that for modern life, it is very important to be aware of the news. I didn't know anything, I was late. Social networks give us the opportunity to read and discuss all the latest news and novelties in various fields.
On the other hand, I can understand why people think in a completely different way and give the following examples:
1. Addiction. This is the biggest negative impact. Remember that it is very difficult to get rid of any addiction. You start spending more and more time on social networks, adding a lot of photos, reading all the news, playing games. And after a while, you can't live without social media. You can go from the first to the last point in a month.
2. Rejection of real life. You only care about what happens on social media. You are not interested in the world around you. Sometimes we can get away from your problems in virtual reality. But you can't live there. Anyway, someday you will meet the real world face to face.
As a result, there are many opinions about social networks. Some people, like me, have the opinion that social media has a more positive impact than a negative one. Other people think completely differently and each of them is right in their own way.
Well-done! Pay attention to your mistakes!In today's time we can't imagine our life without social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. There are lots of points of view about pros and cons of such Internet resources. Some people are extremely certain that social media sites have a negative influence on young people and their ambitions. On the other hand, others think that such kinds of sites connect young generation into the community of followers and have a positive impact on young people.
DeleteI strongly believe that social networks have more positive effects than negative sides. The main reason why I think so is communication.
We correspond with friends, congratulate them on holidays, find old mates. The majority of people you interact on social media, you won't interact in the real life.
The second reason is development of specific skills. You can find a lot of useful information on social networks. Music, videos, films, books, articles - it's impossible to list everything. You can quickly find the information you need.
The last but not least is keeping the track of events. A great number of people strongly opine that it is very essential to be aware of the news in modern life. If I don't know anything, I will be late. Social networks give us the opportunity to read and discuss all the latest news and novelties in various fields.
On the other hand, I can assume why people think in a completely different way about this issue. The first drawback of social media’s influence is
addiction. This is the biggest negative impact. Firstly, you have to keep in mind that it is very difficult to get rid of any addiction. You start spending more and more time on social networks, posting a lot of photos, following the newsfeed, playing games. After a while, you realize you can't live without social media. Actually, you just waste your time. Moreover, you can reject your real life. You only care about what happens on social media. You are not interested in the world around you. Sometimes we can get away from your problems in virtual reality. But you can't live there. Anyway, one day you will meet the real world face to face.
As a result, there are many opinions about social networks. Some people, like me, have the opinion that social media has a more positive impact than a negative one. Other people think completely differently and each of them is right in their own way.
In modern society we all have phones and applications on them, such as Instagram, Facebook and so on. These apps called social media and are an incredibly important part of our life that we can’t get rid of. Therefore, every person has their own opinion about the social networking sites, about their pros and cons and impact on the world. Some people strongly believe that such kind of sites can bring harm to the humanity, while others think that social media is the best innovation and has a positive influence on young people. This essay will take a look at these views and bring some details and examples.
ReplyDeleteIt is considered by some that the sites can bring a new perspective to the introverts and other shy people and teach them how to start a conversation with someone. It also helps support the relationship, no matter friendship it is or not, between persons who are have a long-distance connection. With the assist of social media you can keep your business and make an adds. Moreover, apps can give you some new ideas, information, hobbies. The last but not least, the sites give us the opportunity to read and discuss all the latest news and be informed about what happens in the world.
Others disagree about the fact that media can has an advantages and supposes that it only has a disadvantages. I can understand this point, due to the immense of drawbacks. The first one is addiction. At the beginning you can spent a little time on the app but later the amount of time, which you will waste in scrolling a feed, will be massive. You can reject your own life and care only about what happened in the net, just can’t live without the social media, without posting a foto or making a tweets.
As a result, there are a lot of views about this issue. Some suggested that the media is a significant part of our lives and it brings to us a positive effect. Meanwhile others suppose that negative effect of the apps are obnoxious and loathsome. My point is that all of these opinions are right and we need to find a balance among them.

In modern society, we all have phones and applications on them, such as Instagram, Facebook, and so on. These apps are called social media and are an incredibly important part of our lives that we can't get rid of. Therefore, every person has his or her own opinion about social networking sites, about their pros and cons, and their impact on the world. Some people strongly believe that such kinds of sites can do harm to humanity, while others think that social media is the best innovation and has a positive influence on young people. This essay will take a look at these views and provide some details and examples.
DeleteIt is considered by some that these sites can bring a new perspective to introverts and other shy people and teach them how to start conversations with someone. It also helps support relationships, whether friendships or not, between human beings who have long-distance connections. With the assistance of social media, you can run your business and make advertisements. Moreover, apps can give you some new ideas, information, and hobbies. Last but not least, these sites give us the opportunity to read and discuss all the latest news and be informed about what is happening in the world.
Others disagree about the fact that social media can have advantages and suppose that it only has disadvantages. I can understand this point, due to the immensity of drawbacks. The first one is addiction. In the beginning, you may spend a little time on the app, but later the amount of time that you will waste scrolling a feed will be massive. You may neglect your own life and care only about what happens online; you may just not be able to live without social media, without posting a photo or making tweets.
As a result, there are a lot of views about this issue. Some suggest that social media is a significant part of our lives and that it brings us a positive effect. Meanwhile, others suppose that the negative effects of the apps are obnoxious and loathsome. My point is that all of these opinions are right and we need to find a balance among them.
