Write an essay on: Does social media negatively impact teenagers social lives?

Question

Write an essay on above mentioned topic about 1000 to 1200 words.

Answer 1

This topic is a very easy and timely one to write about. I will provide a few suggestions in the forms of prompts for you to consider before and as you are writing your essay.

All you have to do is look around you and see how teenagers act when they are around other people versus when they are on their phones doing whatever they please. Are there differences (for better or for worse) in their behavior and interactions with the real-life world around them? Plus, use your own knowledge and experience with social media (if you use it). Have you ever come across people who (according to their online profiles) appear or sound like they might be younger in age based on their pictures or the ways in which they write posts or as part of online chats? How do those underage individuals compare to adults in their online auras? Do you yourself believe that teenagers should have open access to social media? Why or why not?

As you provide examples for each of the above prompts (if you choose to consider them when preparing to write your essay), you will find yourself forming main ideas, a thesis statement within your introduction, closing with a solid conclusion restating your argument. As always, make sure each main body paragraph contains only one idea. Every time you come up with a new idea, make sure that you effectively and smoothly segue from the idea(s) previously discussed in earlier paragraphs within your essay to each of your new ideas so that your reader/teacher can comprehend what you are arguing contextually.

Good luck with the essay! I am sure you will come up with a terrific thesis and raise valid points to reflect this essential topic of everyday society and discussion.

Answer 2

The trick here is no one is going to write essays for anybody else. So, one should try on their own. The prompt is asking the writer's opinion on a specific issue. Thus the essay is an expository one, but using the approach of a persuasive essay is stronger here because the persuasive builds up a case and lures the readers to accepting the authors opinion. The secret to good writing is never attempt to write without a clear outline. Since this essay is persuasive, then its outline should look something like this:

Introduction: opinion/answer the question with a captivating opening. some explanation or example and then the thesis statement

before explaining opinion and its reasons in details, it is preferable that the author indulges in dissecting the opposition in a separate paragraph right here.

Reason 1 for opinion: state the reason (don't forget using transitions) explain the reason in two sentences, give example or two then move on to the next idea.

Reason 2 for opinion: same as above: state the reason, using transitions, explain the reason and give a clarifying example.

Reason 3....

as many reasons as there are. organize them in order of importance: most to least.

last reason can be a revert to emotions, use the emotions of the audience in calling them to siding with you and accepting your opinion.

lastly, conclude this essay by restating the opinion, without repetition of the same sentences and words used in first paragraph, some students tend to cite an apology for their opinion here, don't because it is your right to believe anything as long as you have the sound logical reason for it. Finish this paragraph with a strong notion such as a warning, a 'what if' idea, or consequences.
