Virtual Internet communication can result in losing real-life social skills пример (Сочинения ЕГЭ английский язык)

Nowadays there are different points of view on the influence of the World Wide Web on real-life communicative skills. Some people suppose it makes users unable to talk with people out of the Internet. Others, on the contrary, claim that the Internet allows individuals to be more sociable even in the real life. Let me express my own opinion.

To my mind, the Internet often decreases people's possibilities to communicate in reality. First of all, Internet's users try to save more time, that's why chatting has become the most popular way of communication. So there is almost no need to talk with someone. Moreover, the lack of verbal communication may result in nervousness, losing self-confidence. Additionally, some people spend so much time chatting in the Internet and they miss the opportunity to have a conversation even with relatives and close friends.

However, there are people who have the opposing opinion.

They believe the Internet provides all necessities to develop real-life social skills. According to them, people can communicate with each other using cameras and microphones. Besides, such conversations completely replace real-life communication and help to improve the speech and build up confidence.

Nevertheless, I disagree with these statements. I'm sure that virtual communication cannot replace the real-life conversation. There is a specific atmosphere in different place, for example, in the street, in the office. Only face-to-face talking allows people to develop communicative skills.

In conclusion I would like to say that nowadays a lot of people really lose social skills because of the Internet. Every person needs to have more real-life conversations and spend less time in the virtual world.
