You should spend about 40 minutes on IELTS writing task 2.

In many workplaces, online communication is now more common than face-to-face meetings. Do the advantages of this trend outweigh the disadvantages?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. You should write at least 250 words.

Sample Answer

In the modernized era, workplaces have started preferring online communication rather than choosing face-to-face meetings. I think this trend is far more advantageous than anything opposite.

To begin with, online communication is beneficial as it consumes far less time and effort than the conventional method of physical meetings. For instance, if an employee has an urgent meeting to attend, choosing to hold it online will evade the issues arising from being stuck in the traffic jams and entering the office premise later than the set time for the meeting. Or, the need for appearing presentable as per the basic dressing ethics demanded by the organization. Rather, this additional time can be used to excel in their meetings and other skills. Furthermore, online communications are much more feasible, convenient and comfortable. To cite another example, during the times of covid-19, the work from home technology has proved out to be worth it.

However, there are certain demerits that are associated with online communications. With online services, one requires stable electricity and data connection. Thus, failure of any one thing can lead to disruptions during essential talks, resulting in the wastage of time. At the same time, cybercrime is pertaining to computer technology; hence, susceptible to unwanted attacks by hackers and intruders.

In conclusion, I reiterate that technological advancements can be extremely beneficial in the communication aspect. It saves time and also helps in less expenditure, given that one has a stable connection and everything is secured from hackers.
