AN OPINION ESSAY

"Social media makes people better connected" People are social creatures and, over the ages, humans have continued to invent ways to connect with others. I am of the opinion that people are better connected to one another due to social media. Firstly, social media makes us more connected with people that we know well. Because of Instagram we can send photos to friends and family very easily. In addition, we can use Skype to see and talk to them instead of phoning them. Secondly, social media allows us to connect with old friends and classmates. Facebook gives us a way to find and communicate with people from our past. Moreover, social media lets us connect and make friends with people we don’t know. As a result, we can meet people anywhere in the world and we can find people who share our interests in chat rooms. In conclusion, it is clear that social media can help to bring people together. Personally, I believe that all of us want to be better connected with others, and social media gives us an easy and efficient way to do this.

A FOR AND AGAINST ESSAY

“EVERYONE SHOULD DO VOLUNTARY WORK AT SOME TIME IN THEIR LIFE” DISCUSS. It is said that everyone should do voluntary work at some time in their life because it is good for both the volunteer and the people that are helped. However, there are both advantages and disadvantages to this idea. On the one hand, it is often thought that doing voluntary work is very important because the volunteer can help people who need it. In addition, voluntary work can help the volunteer gain useful experience for a future job. On the other hand, many people say voluntary work is not a good idea because the volunteer is not paid. Moreover, many people believe that sometimes those being helped rely on the voluntary work when they should actually be helping themselves. Personally, I believe that voluntary work is beneficial and ought to be encouraged. Nevertheless, I feel that people who decide not to do it should not be judged.
