IELTS Writing Task 2: Advantage Disadvantages Essay

Topic 

People now have the freedom to work and live anywhere in the world due to the development of communication technology and transportation.

Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?


Answer

Today, it is true that with the development of modern technologies and transport systems, people can easily live and work everywhere in the world. In my opinion, it has many benefits more than drawbacks.

Firstly, internet and mobile phone technologies have revolutionized our working life. It can connect people in the different countries. For instance, people can work at home and communicate via email, online networks and video conferencing. It gives people more freedom to enjoy their lives. People can save time and money.

Secondly, cheap airline and high-speed transport systems has narrow physical distance, people can easily go on holiday to relax and have fun. Low-cost airlines are making it cheaper to travel abroad. Travelling abroad opens our minds and we can experience different cultures and learn to speak other languages.

Finally, this development is better lifestyle. For example, people can have accessibility to high standard education, better health and lavish surroundings. Technologies help people to draw inspiration and easily access in the world of knowledge. It helps to improve the standard living.

However, a drawback of the development in technology can reduce on face-to-face communication. For instance, the members of family are not closer as in the past. This development in transport can have negative effect on the natural environment such as air pollution, traffic jams and global warming.

I would, therefore argue that although there are disadvantages of the current trend to live and work abroad, they are outweighed by the advantages. It can enrich people’s lives and lives of the people in the countries that they move to
