Writing task of a matriculation exam (Please review)

DIRECTIONS: On your sheet for open-ended answers write a composition of about 140-170 words on the following topic: Agree or disagree with the following statement: Internet communication is more efficient and definitely preferable to all other kinds of communication. Prove your point by giving arguments and concrete examples.

In today’s fast paced world, Internet is the most reliable and the most preferred way of communication.

First off, the world wide web allows us access to all kinds of information and variety of content. The most appealing to the majority of web surfers is social media. Through it, people are capable of speaking and befriending others from all over the globe. These online pen pals are a way to immerse oneself in different cultures and customs, learn or improve language skills and are, therefore, used in some schools for teaching purposes.

When it comes to efficiency, the Internet is superior mostly because of its speed. Sending a message in a chat takes no more than a second whilst sending a letter can take more than a few weeks depending on the location of the receiver.

Another reason for Internet to be favoured over other ways of communication are video calls. A real time conversation with a loved one miles away would lift anyone’s mood and make the distance more bearable.

In conclusion, Internet communication by far surprasses other types with its easy navigation and reliability. Internet brings us closer and allows us to chat with people who have similar interests and worldview. Internet unites the world.
