TOEFL essay: Face-to-face communication is better than other types of... #1 (permalink) Sun Feb 18, 2007 17:54 pm   TOEFL essay: Face-to-face communication is better than other types of...
 

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Face-to-face communication is better than other types of communication, such as letters, E-mail, or telephone calls. Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

I agree with with this statement that Face-to-face communication is better than other types of communication. But sometimes we cannot communicate Face-to-face so we use other types of communication like letters , E-mail,telephone calls,etc. I think that Face-to-face communication has been existed even before than invention of languges.After invention of languages,they (languages)became an important part of Face-to-face communication.so I belive that Face-to-face communication is more than speaking.In Face-to-face communication you can use different accents and voices to explain your thoughts.you can also use your hands to point to some thing or use your eyes ,lips ,etc to explain more about what you want to say.you can laugh or cry to express your feelings.So in Face-to-face communication you have a lot of means to use to explain what you realy mean and abviously you can not use most part of them in other types of communiacations.But we cannot deny the roles of other types of communications. when we are far from each other we can use other types of communication.these types of communications are the result of modern technologies and we can use them to solve our prooblems when Face-to-face communication is not possible.For example consider the situation that you want to say an important thing to your firend and he is somewhere that you dont know.you can easily send an E-mail to him/her and write the the things that you want to say to him/her.

Please check my answer.

We have many ways to stay in touch with people such as direct way, using letters, email, telephone or something like that. However, I prefer to face to face communication to other types. There are some reasons to support my answer.
At the beginning, when I want to make friends with someone, I always say hello and introduce myself. And then I ask them to introduce themselves. I think it is a respective way to know each other. Moreover, if I talk to them by face to face, I can know their feeling and thought. What is more, it is also the good way for us to understand each other directly. For example, when we have an argument, we can talk together to find out the problem and solve it quickly.
Furthermore, I think this type of communication is more realistic and active then other types. We can do something together.
And my experiences will support this point. I used to have an online friend 5 years ago. We also had in common. It made me imagine something wonderful, something special. However, when we met each other in person, I was totally shocked. My imagination was broken. I was so disappointed at that person because all of thing about that person was false. I met this one only once time and never again. Anyway, I am afraid of the type of communication like that.
As time goes by, I have already found out that type face to face communication help me to know and see the person who I talk to directly and quickly without falsity.
It can be argued that some problems, some news can not be told directly. We must use letters or email to solve those problems. And for me, I do not think so. There are many solutions that are better than when we talk to by face to face.
Once again, I have a strong agreement with this statement that face to face communication is better than other types.

* I think something wrong and unclear in this essay but I do not what. Maybe, they are poor and irrelevant ideas.

There is no concluding sentence in your paragraph. Also, your paragraph is full of repetition of Face-to-face communication. Try to rewrite it and avoid the aforementioned things.

Good luck Wink

I do not think your ideas are poor at all. One thing you must avoid is the use of spoken words like:
Quote:
telephone or something like that
Also try to shorten your sentences up.

Good luck.

please check my answer please, thank you so much

Nowadays, whereas people usually make a connection with each other by many communication types such as e-mail, letter,etc. From my experience,i would rather choose face to face communication because it is either realistic or easier to service the problems.
The first advantage of face to face communication is that we can get our argument or dialogue more lively than others. Whenever we are in discussion about one event or problem, it is much better to meet a person and ask about her/him health than chatting or letters.Futhermore,we can anticipate how important the problems are so that we are, in somehow, know what we should do at that moment. For instance, when i met my friend to discuss about our examination a week after, from seeing his gesture, i recognizably knew that this test was a big objection with him. So, i asked him whatever he didn't understand and then directly demonstrated the lesson, which helped him get 8 per 10 points from the test. Moreover, if we meet face to face, we can, together, significantly get a paper and write down whatever we should do to overcome the problems we had. From discussing face to face, we can have a good time together and side by side solving the problem. Once again, i totally agree with the statement "face to face communication is better than other types of communication.

My essay is not exceed 250 words, however, i don't have much idea to write, how can i make my essay longer. sincerely
