The Essay Question: Writing Task 2 (an essay)

People now have the freedom to work and live anywhere in the world due to the development of communication technology and transportation.

Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?

The Essay:

As per the latest trends, people nowadays have more liberty to travel, stay and work at several places in this entire cosmos because of the growth and enhancement of latest interactive technologies and transport system. This certainly has positives as well as negatives.

One of the disadvantages of the free choice of choosing to move, live and work in far off places, creates distance between family members.  Although, when travelling through air, people communicate using latest technology like WhatsApp or Skype that bridges the gap, it is still not the same as personal connect.

On the contrary, moving to and residing in other countiers, bring many benefits to people’s lives. Firstly, it gives an opportunity to people to live and explore other parts of world. For example, people from western nations are often seen travelling for work to the east and vice-versa. This teaches them about foreign languages, cultures, traditions and different ways of working, vis-a-vis living in their native place.

 In addition to this, other countries are benefited too in the field of health, education and business. If a professional moves aboard for work, it is usually because of their expertise and unique skills which are in shortage and hence much in demand around the world. To illustrate, doctors and nurses usually move to hospitals in other countries, during an emergency, hence it is very valuable for the destination they move to.

 To conclude, according to me, though there are some negatives about staying and working aboard, there are multiple benefits which outweigh the drawbacks. People get exposure about different cultures and traditions and it proffers advantage to the countries where they stay providing their unusual services.
