1) There's no escape. They seem to be ringing everywhere these days. Nowhere is safe - restaurants, trains, pubs, even cinemas and theatres. People never turn them off, and listening to other people's conversations drives me mad.
2) Lots of people don't often need to use them. But imagine you're driving along in the middle of nowhere and you break down. You can phone for help straight away, and save time, money, and worry.
3) All human knowledge is there. Want to know about French literature, the US Space Programme, the love life of frogs? Just log on and learn. It's like being in the world's biggest library, but with no librarians.
4) Surfing the net is becoming a major free-time activity for millions of people. The problem? 99% of what's on it is rubbish. Some people say it will replace books, newspapers, and magazines, but I don't think so.
5) It's fantastic, it's so convenient. I can switch on my computer, press a button, send a document, and seconds later someone can open it on the other side of the world. I never use snail mail anymore!

Here you have an example of the essay:
Nowadays people spend a lot of money in order to go to an English-speaking country to improve their language skills. But is it really the most effective way of learning a language?
In my opinion, learning a foreign language abroad has certain drawbacks. Firstly, it is very expensive as the tuition fee for overseas students is rather high. Besides, when you study abroad, you have to adapt to a very different way of life, which can be quite stressful. What is more, English teachers do not speak Russian so if you don't know English well, you will not be able to understand their explanation.
On the other hand, it is often assumed that it is better to study a language abroad because you can always use it speaking with native speakers. However, I doubt that learners will have lots of opportunities to speak a new language abroad as they do not know many people there. It is also believed that Russian teachers are not as qualified as those in England. I totally disagree with this opinion because Russian teachers can compare two languages and explain grammar rules better.
To sum up, I would argue that the best way to learn a language is to study it in your native country because you can always get the necessary help from your teachers. Moreover, today we have lots of opportunities to improve our skills such as communicating with English pen-friends over the Internet. I think that we should travel abroad so as to practise a language rather than study it.
