0049 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Face-to-face communication is better than other types of communication, such as letters, email, or telephone calls. Use specific reasons and details to support your answer. |
Nowadays, communication technology has been developed very much. We can send mails without going to post office but click on the internet. Thanks to many communication devices, we live more convenient life. However, in my opinion, Face-to-face communication is better than other types of communication. I have two main reasons to support my opinion. To begin with, personal contact communication is more precise than others. People cannot read senders feelings well in letters or email because they cannot see looks of the senders. They only read written words. Expressions tell a lot of information. Same words like ‘goodbye’ might be considered different meaning according to the speaker’s expression. If the speaker says goodbye with smiling, the meaning is not considerable, but if the one says goodbye with tears, the meaning is something serious like ‘I do not want to give this word to you’. Thus, I think Face-to-face communication is much better because of accuracy. On top of that, people can communicate faster than other types of communication. We can be given an answer immediately in personal contact communication. However, other types of communication such as emails and letters take several times to get the answer. When I was the third grade of high school, I once sent an email to my tutor for helping me about math. Since I had math test by the next day, I wanted to get the tutor’s answer as soon as possible. However, he did not check his mailbox the day, so I could not receive his answer before a math test. Finally, I could not do well on the test. Judging by personal experience, I believe that personal contact communication is better because of swiftness.
To sum up, Some people argue that many communication devices help us live more convenient. However, Face-to-face communication has more accuracy and is faster than other types of communication such as emails and letters. Thus, I strongly think that personal contact communication is better. |
