In this day and age, more and more contemporary has placed attention on the idea that a lot of people use social networking

platforms to keep contact with others and update new information. In my opinion, I do believe that this trend has more

benefits than drawbacks.

Firstly, social media help society to remove conversation gap. This is because more and more students study abroad

nowadays, so they can use some apps such as Facebook, Instagram, ..to connect with their family on special occasions or

even every day. For example, my parents called my sister through Messenger and asked after her when she had higher

education in Canada. In addition, because of the Corona pandemic, people have not seen their relatives and friends for a

long time. Therefore, using social networks is the best way for everyone to meet, chat, talk, play games and share beautiful
memories with people around them. During the lockdown of our country, my friends and I played PUBG together and we

had so many lovely moments which I cannot forget.

⇒ Ở thân bài số 1, thì mình tập trung vào phần Supporting Idea cho thấy là “social media” mang lại gì trước, rồi

các trường hợp cụ thể thì mình nên để ở phần ví dụ (ví dụ như “my sister” hay là “during the lockdown” thì nên

triển khai hết ở ví dụ)

Bố cục : Main Idea → Supporting Idea → Example nên được rõ ràng. (Ở bài thì giống như mình đang triển khai 2

ideas riêng biệt rồi → nên giải thích hết 1 lần, và tập trung đưa 1 ví dụ)

Để đúng cách làm và triển khai thì phải chú ý bố cục nè

Secondly, social networking sites help the human grasp a mass of news in all fields such as economics, politics, culture,

society and education quickly. To be more specific, current trends are constantly changing, so we will be left behind if we

do not update news in time. Moreover, the olds or politicians who have a special interest in world affairs also save time by

following the latest new immediately on electronic newspaper or online broadcaster instead of waiting for news programs

on TV to be aired at the fixed time. Thanks to social media, people can not only keep up with the times but also have more

time to do anything else.

In conclusion, although using social media to contact with people and awareness some events has both advantages and

disadvantages, I affirm again that this tendency brings more positive aspects for the social development.
