Presentation transcript:

Life is now better that it was 100 years ago. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experience. In my opinion, I partially agree that modern changes has made life better these days than it was a century ago. On the one hand, life today is simpler and easier. First of all, we have more food production capacity, better diplomatic relationships among nations and more freedom than the last century. Computers and the internet has interconnected the world, and information is only a click away. For example, mobile apps like Viber allow people to keep in touch within seconds, even if they are in another continent. In addition, air travel has become cheaper than the past and affordable to everyone. Second of all, life expectancy has reached the highest level and infant mortality rates have declined significantly. Furthermore, new medicine and medical equipment have been invented, and many of the epidemic diseases of the past have been eradicated. On the other hand, with technological advancement, our social lifestyle has changed entirely. Internet addiction, physical inactivity and processed meals pave the way to many new and strange diseases our ancestors never experienced. For instance, due to technology radiation and GMOs, genetically modified organisms, cancer and other lethal diseases have become common and widespread. Moreover, computer and mobile phone addiction have destroyed "critical thinking" and traditional "family and social culture". For example, constantly wasting any "free time" online has broken down family ties and important morals. Both young people and adults are now primarily concerned with posting "selfies", "spying" on people, chatting and updating useless profiles on Facebook and other social media sites. This distracts both young people and adults from working hard to build up their CVs, studying, entrepreneurship, interning or performing volunteer work or community service which will definitely have a positive impact on their future. As a result, thinking about how to have a successful future is now more difficult than ever due to “technology addiction”. Because of such internet addiction, depression and other psychological problems have also become common even though we have so much more now than our parents, grandparents or great grandparents. In conclusion, even though science and technology have tremendously advanced human life, it has come at a price. Most people simply do not use technology and the internet for business or educational purposes. Hence, society has lost time management skills we once had in the past, and such a loss is clearly negatively affecting both our present and future around the world.

Dear Amira,I am very sorry to hear this Dear Amira,I am very sorry to hear this. As you know, my son was also acting like your son, however, he is now back on the right track.  In my opinion, you just need to change a few things to see positive results. He just needs a “helping hand”. First of all, I definitely agree you should remove him from his current school and negative atmosphere. Bad friends will make it impossible for him to study or take his schoolwork seriously. Second of all, why don't you get him involved in volunteer work, community service, a part- time job or internship? Paid or unpaid, young people have a lot of free time and energy and they must use it wisely. By studying and working at the same time, he will be able to learn time management skills, meet other people and mentors who are a good influence, and become immersed in a totally new atmosphere.  In addition, there are always free classes that teach students new skills like swimming, soccer, learning a new language or instrument. Keep him busy with interesting activities! I suggest his Internet time should be very limited as it is full of bad influences and distractions. WiFi should be disabled at home on all your laptops and cellphones. Show him there was “life before the internet” so he does not get addicted and start another bad habit! You should be reading actual books at home to set a good example and prevent “internet addiction”. Finally, why don't you volunteer with him? My son and I are both volunteering at a local cancer hospital together one day a week. This summer, we are also planning on going on a “volunteer vacation” together in Tanzania and teaching at a UNICEF School there (United Nations International Children's Fund). On the weekend, we spend time together learning French at our local library as well. Moreover, we go to our local sports club as often as possible. My son loves swimming and is helping other youngsters learn how to swim as well. I personally believe you should act immediately. The sooner you change his surroundings, the better. Why don't you and ______ come meet us this Friday at the sporting club? We can introduce him to all our hardworking friends there who can help him plan a successful future. Please keep me posted! Sincerely,
