Hi, I have my FCE exam in two weeks, so I'm practicing my writing. Could you tell me if that is ok?


Although new technologies have become the base of our society, there are people who prefer to do without them, in my opinion, they are making a huge mistake.

First of all the advances in medicine have become crucial in the fight against infections, thanks to that, the human race has exterminated mortal diseases that had killed millions before, like smallpox. Furthermore, we have the possibility to choose among a wide range of mind-blowing TV shows, films, and books without the prohibitions of ancient times.

On the other hand, nowadays the traditional forms of communication are being forgotten by the youngsters, who prefer to send instant messages instead of having face to face conversations.

In conclusion, I think that despite the lack of human interaction, the infinite amount of possibilities that recent technologies provide us with is much more worthy.

Next time, try to write a little more. You're doing very well. :)
