Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Face-to-face communication is better than other types of communications, such as letters, emails, or telephone calls.

Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

Sample Answer 1:


Humankind, through the ages, has undergone many changes from the time when people communicated only face-to-face to nowadays when a person has in use many types of communication means. Some people still prefer to use face-to-face communication despite many other sometimes more convenient ones such as phone, mail, e-mail and fax. I think to continue this essay it is essential to clarify what kind of conversation we are talking about.

For example, if people are negotiating it is very important to have a face-to-face communication. It is very important to see during a negotiation how one’s opponent is moving, is he nervous or relaxed, what he is doing, etc. Scientists say that the body language and facial gestures can say many things about a person, his strong and weak sides, his traits, manners and even habits. To know what kind of man one is dealing with is an essential aspect in negotiation. Many managers prefer to have face-to-face conversations with the future employees. So, in this case, they see how a person behaves.

From the other side, if I need to notify my bank that I am going to close an account I do not want to spend my time driving there, waiting for my turn and talking with a representative. It is easier for me just to call or e-mail them. It saves my time and my bank’s too.

To summarise, from my opinion all important issues better be discussed in face-to-face conversation. It will eliminate many further misunderstandings and bring only benefits to both sides.

Sample Answer 2:


Currently, the social networks are becoming more popular among young generation. Therefore, we can say beyond any doubt that modern society prefers to send emails or handwritten letters rather than socialising in reality. In my opinion, the face-to-face communication is more effective to build a personal relationship and to conduct professional arrangement but other ways of communication like email and chat are becoming more popular nowadays as they are easy and more convenient.

To begin with, by directly facing with other people individual could enhance his conversational speech by learning new words and improving pronunciation. For instance, communicating with a well-educated person could enrich your vocabulary and range of vision. Secondly, there is no doubt that people sometimes want to see the real emotions of a man while he or she writing a letter or an email. Face-to-face communication allows individuals show that feelings entirely put people`s faith in saying the truth. Moreover, connecting with people in real life helps easily make new friends at a later stage.

It should also be stated that socialising by the Internet also has its benefits. Firstly, people could comfortably confess in some things that could not tell face-to-face. Furthermore, with improving technological devices it is easier for people to write an email or just call due to the fact that it does not take a lot of time to send a message. Secondly, there are a lot of social networks such as Skype, Facebook and Twitter, which permit individuals to keep in touch with friends from other countries all over the world.
To sum up, it is easy to communicate within the Internet. Nevertheless, my point of view is that directly facing is essential for meeting new friends.
