ADVANTANGES AND DISADVANTAGES

KEEP IT SIMPLE

How to write and advantages and disadvantages essay from Anabel Blasco Martín



ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF TECHNOLOGY ADVANCES

      In today's world everything is more convenient and accessible due to advances in technology across almost all sectors of our life. Apparently, there seems not to be any disadvantages to the use of all the new technology. However, despite how far technology has taken humans and no matter how convenient it makes things, there are also some disadvantages accompanying this level of access.

     To begin with, technology advances show people a more efficient way to do things, and these processes get good results. For example, education has been greatly increased by the technological advances of computers. Students are able to learn on a global scale without ever leaving their classrooms. Also, medical discoveries occur at a much more rapid rate, thanks to machines and computers that help in the research process and allow for more intense educational research into medical matters.

      However, the more advanced society becomes technologically, the more people begin to depend on computers and other forms of technology for everyday existence. This means that when a machine breaks or a computer crashes, humans become almost disabled until the problem is resolved. This kind of dependency on technology puts people at a distinct disadvantage, because they become less self-confident.

     In conclusion, although we have become more and more dependent on technology, it seems to me that our society needs those devices if we want to keep the progress we have achieved. Living without the technological advances we possess nowadays would simply mean chaos.

Christmas Time!

Hello everyone,

     It’s that time of year when friends and family think about the Christmases of the past and plan for the coming holiday with their loved ones in mind.

     It is a time for remembering, a time to share the goodness of your heart with others, and for expressing with words and gifts what someone means to you.

     It is a chance to make wishes come true and to give something from your heart. 

I gave you some homework to do these days-and I really hope you find the time to do it and enjoy it too.

You'll need to visit the following page

• A Chistmas Tale. Listen and Read
  

•  A Christmas Carol. Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer

 

LISTEN TO OTHER WELL KNOWN CHRISTMAS songs with lyrics

A White Christmas by Frank Sinatra

Let it snow, by Dean Martin

Last Christmas, by George Michael

All I want for Christmas is You, Mariah Carey

 

 

KEY 

Merry Christmas to you all  

May this new year bring you peace, love and contentment.
