Essay writing

On the ELT Writing class, after studying the structure of essays and how to write them, we had to write one concerning the importance of the Internet.

Nowadays, Internet has taken all over the world, to the point that we are not able to picture  life without it.
It is a very helpful source in various aspects of our lives, such as in communicating with our friends and
studying.

There is no doubt that internet represents a practical tool in contacting our friends.
Therefore, it is constantly used in our everyday life; for making plans, getting informed in a more accessible
way, entertaining ourselves with movies and captivating music, among other uses. Many believe life
nowadays, simplified to the extent it is, would not be possible without technology.

However, it is generally spoken that the Internet is even more relevant as a studying aid. Currently,
technology is applied in universities and at all levels of school, from kindergarten to secondary school.
Furthermore, in education, technology is an eco-friendly alternative to writing in paper, which is gaining more
and more fame for damaging the environment. It is clearly an easy way of helping the environment and is
generally preferred by students as it takes less time than writing on paper. Moreover, students can get a
wider perspective as they can access more sources (such as internet forums, blogs and online books)
than they would just by reading the material the teacher gives. Contrary to the above ideas, others feel
that traditional methods keep students more focused on the tasks. Nevertheless, many pupils have
claimed that using technology actually makes studying more entertaining and didactic and they are
consequently more focused.

To conclude, the Internet makes our lives smoother by being a studying support and simplifying
communication with our relations.
