TASK 2. Meks-Latihan IELTS
Many people now have personal computers and the use of electronic services such as the internet is becoming more widespread. Some people, and some parents in particular, are concerned about unlimited access to electronic services and would like this access to be controlled nationally and even internationally
To what extent do you agree with this idea of controlling access to electronic services

(Response)

Access to the information has been a part of human life. The present of internet helps human to meet this need. This media offers almost all topics related to human life including sex such as pornographic videos or images. It can be accepted that parents should worry about their child future. Debates around limited access to the internet have spread among people. Some support the idea with logical reasons, but others contend this.



All information related to human development can be found in the internet. Besides the information from books, children can use this media as learning source. For example, if children want to know about what genetically modified food is, they can surf this and visit websites the offer that information. The next point is people are free to access and to publish whatever they want including for those who like publishing pornographic materials. If this idea goes on, it may also ban learning sources for children and also restricts creativity of those who may exercise writing about sex or pornographic articles.



The problem is websites that publish pornographic videos and images can be accessed by children as well. Without limited access to those websites, children may access for information that may be harmful for them, therefore, this condition makes their parents worry. If accessing to those websites is banned, parents may allow their children to access all the information in the internet.



It can be concluded that the idea to limit the internet access may be reconsidered. By restricted access to this, it can limit the creativity and the learning sources of people.
