you can draw upon.

Organizing Your Ideas Into Paragraphs: To effectively organize your ideas, you need to consider the
structure and content of each paragraph. Let's outline some ideas for the internet helping us stay connected
and the internet isolating us:

Ideas for the internet helping us stay connected:

● Instant communication (emails/text messages) makes it difficult to escape from work.


● The internet makes it easier to do homework.
● Through the internet, we can share memories with people who are far away.

Ideas for the internet isolating us:

● The internet encourages people to stay at home and not go out to see their friends.
● Virtual friends made on the internet cannot replace our actual friends and family.

Checking for Enough Ideas: In this step, it's essential to evaluate whether you have included enough ideas
to support both sides of the argument. Since you mentioned needing more ideas for the internet isolating
us, let's brainstorm additional points:

● The internet creates a sense of detachment and reduces face-to-face interaction.


● Excessive internet use can lead to social isolation and mental health issues.
● People may rely on virtual relationships, neglecting real-life connections.

Writing an Introduction: An effective introduction provides context and presents the main topic. Let's
construct an introduction based on the given statements:

"The internet allows us to stay connected with each other no matter where we are. On the other hand, it also
isolates us and encourages people not to socialize. To what extent do you agree or disagree with these
statements? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or
experience." Check the Final Sentence for the Introduction: The final sentence of the introduction should
set the stage for the upcoming paragraphs. Let's consider a revised final sentence: "Let us explore the
arguments for and against the impact of the internet on human connectivity."
