d. Sample

Some people believe that the fast pace and stress of modern life is having a negative effect on
families. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

There is currently a contentious argument over whether family life is being harmed by the
high-speed and pressure of contemporary lifestyles. I totally agree with this opinion because
the fast pace leads to less time for families to be together, and stress leads to arguments among
family members.

The main reason why I believe family life is being compromised is because families have less
time to be with each other. This is due to family members being busier at work and with their
social lives. As well as this, people have many things they have to do these days such as checking
e-mail, updating their online social status and so less time is left for family life. To illustrate. 1
spend about two hours online every night attending to daily correspondence before chatting with
my family members, whereas ten years ago I would spend time with my family as soon as I
walked in the door.

Another reason why I support the notion that families are being impacted negatively is that the
pressure of life these days means that even when families do get together arguments are more
likely to happen. This is because everyone feels tired and they are more likely to get irritated
and to react to their heightened emotional levels.

In conclusion, I completely agree that the rapid pace and stressful nature of contemporary
lifestyles are having negative consequences on family relationships. This is because family
members have less time, and when they are together they feel less relaxed. Given this situation,
it seems that family members should try to be more supportive to one another and also parents
need to set aside regular times for families to relax together

the idea that ……………………
