IELTS preparation essay (Kindly check and advise me, Thanks)

Hi,

I am self preparing for the IELTS, and would appreciate if any moderator could check the following essay. I know there is some spell mistakes in it, but I am trying to improve my skills by searching articles regarding spelling rules (such as when to use ie or ei).

Thanks for any advices.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subject:
The age of Information Technology has taken a lot of people by surprise.
While it has become a way of life for some, others know very little about it and may be unlikely to learn. Eventually we will have a polarised society and this will lead to serious social problems.
To what extent do you agree with this statement?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The essay:
Since the invention of computers in mid fifties, people were divided into tow categories. The first one finds it interesting and helpful to their daily activities, while the second category finds it complicated and unuseful. I generally tend to disagree with the argument that the gap between these two categories is going to create social problems.

Taking a closer look at the people who are not interested in Information Technology; we will find most of them are 50 years or older. Introduction of user-friendly systems in mid eighties, attracted a great percentage of them. Considering the necessity of minimum computer skills for a broad range of jobs, forced another part of this category to familiarise themselves to this technology.

Regarding the new generations, teaching computer courses at school ensures that they will be familiar to the computers and the Information Technology. Introduction of the Internet created a revolution in this industry. Nowdays, the Internet is one of the major research sources for university students. Considering it as reliable, fast and cheap communication method, encoureged lot of establishments and companies to adopt it as their main communication method. We cannot omit the entertainment in the form of games and movies, which allowed the computers to sneek into our houses.

However, on the other hand, we cannot deny that there is some negative impacts on the society, such as exposure to undecent and violance materials, unemployment of people lacking this skill, over expectation from seniors who are not aware of this technology’s capabilities. I consider these turn off points as taxes which will reduce with time.

In conclusion, the gap between the supporters and opposers for Information Technology will vanish gradually with time.

Thanks again for your support.

Best regards,

Hi, a few quick pointers for you; Work out a logical structure for your essay. Don't put your conclusion in the first paragraph. Can you find any hard facts or references to add weight to what you are saying - for example, how do you know most people who do not like technology are over 50?

Hi

Thank you very much indeed for the comments.

I personnaly agree totally with you for not including my conclusion in the first paragraph, however, I read in one IELTS trainning book that the first paragraph (the introduction) should summarise the overall idea of the essay, including the conclusion. Accordingly I tried to do it this way here, despite not convinced. In the re

Try not to start every paragraph with regarding this, taking a look at that.

Since the invention of computers in mid fifties, people *have been divided into *tow categories. The first one finds *it (explain it) interesting and helpful to their daily activities,

You also tend to use over-complicated phrases as subjects which do not connect well with the re
