Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief account of the impact of the Internet on the way people communicate and then explain whether electronic communication can replace face-to-face contact. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
Due to the wide use of computers and the development of Internet, more and more people like to chat on the Internet. We tend to pay more attention to Internet communication than to face-to-face contact. As Internet communication is not limited by space, we can chat with others where there is Internet with our tools such as computers, mobile phones and pads. However, when we chat with others online, we cannot express our feelings fully. Just as the picture shows, the parents cannot touch or hug their child. We know that body language plays an important role in our communication, but the Internet communication cannot do this. For example, when we are sad, we need more love and warmth, a real hug from our parents or friends can mean much more to us than just words through Internet communication. Therefore, though Internet communication brings convenience to our life, I still don't think the Internet communication can replace face-to-face contact.
