Writing Feedback / IELTS: Social Networking Good or Bad to children? The high rate of internet usage concerns people. [5]

In the era of internet ages, accessing internet become a major part of daily life. This high rate of usage has been brought a especial concern among youngsters, especially on the use of social networking site. Some parent contend that the social networking site reduce the human communication. Therefore we should confine children using it. However, some assert that social networking site is a new form of communication and we should further promote it. While I acknowledge both side of compelling arguments, I believe that the benefit of social networking site is far outweighed than the disadvantages and this essay will discusses two main advantages.

For starter, this is the social networking site that parent can have better understanding to their children. In many metropolises, both father and mother need to work. They do not have enough time to chat with their children. Social networking site become a good mean for these kind of parents. One of the powerful tools on these site are to allow user to leave their message, photo and even video on internet and this function is very prevalent among youngsters. Parent can make used of it to understand their children by reading through their update on the site. In this sense, these kind of sites provide parent a great way to understand their children.

On the contrary to the reduction of human communication, social networking site actually do improve it between different people. In my country, it is very common that family send their children studying oversea. Around ten years ago, the parent can only talk to their children through phone call and parent cannot visually see their children. Social networking site addresses the problem by providing real time visual communication. This functions allow parent to cross the territory boundary and allow parent talking with their children freely.

As discussed above, social networking site not only provide parent a way to communicate with their children, but also allow them to understand their children more. I believe we should further advocate these kind of sites rather than confine it.
