IELTS ESSAY  FACE TO FACE OR WRITTEN 

When it comes to communication, people have traditionally relied on both written form, as well as face to face meetings. However, it is often profoundly debated by different schools of thought whether one mode outshines the other.  



It is undeniable that man being a social animal has overwhelmingly relied on going over and meeting acquaintances, and discussing matters in person. This helps afford clarity and maintain cohesiveness, both in professional and social terms, in exchange of views and opinions. When people are seated in front of each other, they do not only use oral and verbal form but also non-verbal expressions to transmit their feelings and responses. A personal meeting aids in eliminating  ambiguity, and many a  times faster resolution of problems.



Moreover, meeting in person can cut down the time wasted in communication considerably. When people preside over in a meeting they experience an instant exchange of views. This spontaneity can rarely be had when individuals write emails, letters, blogs and articles to name a few. Since one does not have to wait for their counterparts to respond.



However, some vouch for the written form as a formidable means of communication.  Their opinion stems from the fact that whatever is transmitted in the form of texts can be recorded and retained permanently. In their view, agreements cannot be arrived upon unless ratified and endorsed in written or printed content. This is why most of the legal documents, contracts are printed on paper to make the claims and agreements valid. 



In hindsight, I partially concur with the given statement since both these mediums are used abundantly by everyone. Hence, it can be said, they complement each other rather than superseding.

Ielts Essay - TV or Radio 

Radio and Television are undoubtedly most commonly used modes of mass communication, especially when it comes transmitting and receiving news. However, which medium is good for this task has evoked an eternal debate.

Many consider radio to be a more acceptable way of obtaining news about different happenings. Their view is based on the non-intrusive quality of this gadget. Listeners can know about the events and about the important updates while carrying out their other essential tasks simultaneously since they do not have to focus on either reading a newspaper; watching the visuals; or pay attention and look at someone talking to them.

Moreover, this humble twentieth century innovation has continued to gain favors even in the modern times due to its portability. By virtue of being able to run even on small batteries along with its small size, as small as a headphone receiver, radios in form of transistors, car stereos and as an attachment on mobiles continue to satisfy the craving of keen news hunters who must stay outdoors or even the remotest of the locations, and who can ill-afford to waste their time looking for a source of getting news. 

Nevertheless, there is a sizeable lobby that is more inclined to television as a source of news. Viewers are able to inform themselves comprehensively about the happenings world over, due to transmission of videos and pictures along with detailed reporting. People do not have to tax their imaginative powers in order to know something as everything can be seen on the TV screens.

To conclude, controversies apart, comparing television and radio as source of obtaining news is a mere squabble. Both of these innovations in mass communications address diverse audience though they sometimes complement each other too.
