Task：Nowadays more and more people are using cellphones and computers to communicate, so they are losing the ability to communicate with each other face to face. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the statement?

Sample answer：

Modern technology revolutionizes people’s ways of communication. Some

people advocate that the wide use of high-tech communication equipment

such as cell phones and computers impairs individual ability of

face-to-face communication. As far as I am concerned, the masses are

likely to lose interpersonal skills in the real world if they get addicted

to this commutation method.

Firstly, it is obvious that communication technology removes the

opportunities of real-world socialization. People today mainly rely on

search engines like Google for information acquirement, instead of people.

Consequently, there are much less interpersonal communications in daily

life such as question-and answer conver sat ions, discussion and arguments

between students and teachers, between colleagues and even between

children and parents.

In addition, it is also recognized that communicating via cell phones and

computers makes people deficient in face-to-face communication lies on

the fact that it decreased the dimension of socialization. For example,

the online communication space is very flat since the majority of messages

exchanged in social networking like Facebook, Twitter and text are only

on verbal level. However, other non-verbal levels of interpersonal skills

such as body language and social psychology are totally invalid and then

ignored, making people incompetent and unskilled when talking with others

face to face.

However, there is no denying that participants’sincereness and form of

atmosphere when people hold a conversation cannot be expected from a phone

call or online chatting. Admittedly, a contract between firms cannot be

signed without rounds of negotiations and bargains; a couple falling in

love are by no means satisfied with voice calls.

In conclusion, the separation between people is undeniable in terms of

the fact that it eliminates the possibility of face-to-face and emotional

communication as well as failure to train the practical interpersonal skills supposing that they excessively depend on communication tools. (295 words)
