Messaging vs real communication 

Messaging is part of our lives now, and it is without a doubt essential on our daily basis, it has a lot of advantages, it can be a time-saver, easier to use, faster, and way more comfortable, but can this be replaced for real communication? Which of these two would you prefer? Honestly, I would keep the two of them, they both are necessary for our lives, and I would like to provide my reasons. 

Messaging will save your time while you are doing homework, exercising, or just when you are in your house and you do not want to go out, you can communicate with others outside of the country, you will have a lot of more opportunities, besides the time, it can be more private as well, like when you are on a bus and you have a secret you need to tell, you can send a message and no one will ever hear it, however, it is not necessary to send messages all the time, real communication can be as effective as messaging, you are able to establish a good relationship with someone else, you can share your feeling just by looking to someone face to face, you can hug each other and demonstrate your feeling to others, but nowadays, we tend to focus only in one of them, for example, when is dinners time, most of the family members will spend their times sending messages to other people, maybe for work, studies, personal situation, but we must take control of it to try to balance both situations. 

To sum up, there is no need to delete one of these, they are both important in our lives, they cannot be compared because they will end up giving us the same result but the way it is going to be made is the difference, we need to learn how and when to put it into practice, messaging can be easier and more comfortable but there is nothing as a real communication about something you like.

Messaging vs real communication 

	Messaging	Real communication
Easier	Sending a text takes longer than just speaking with someone face to face.	It is faster because you have a person in front of you.
Comfortable	Sometimes it can be better just texting, for example, when you can’t go out, you can just send a text and have a conversation.	It depends on the person you would like to talk to because sometimes it's necessary to go out and speak with them.
Privacy	There are some situations in which it is better to text instead of talk because when you are a crowd of people they can all hear it.	It depends on the place you are, but it is a lot easier to message something you don’t want anyone else to hear about.
Meaning	It is difficult to show your feelings when texting since you are not able to hug, kiss, or hold hands whenever you want, or even just looking at each other.	There is nothing better than giving support to someone in need when you have the opportunity and this is something you have by having a real conversation with someone, face to face, you can see their expressions, and sometimes there is no need for words because you can see the others at the eyes.

Narrowing the topic:

Paragraph 2 

The purpose of it is to provide the advantages and disadvantages of texting vs real communication and the reason why it can be easier and more comfortable to do any of these two. 

•  It is easier to talk face to face, and I mean that it is easier than texting, sending a text can take you up to 2 to 3 minutes, on the other hand, talking in front of each other can be faster. 

• Sending text messages can be more comfortable because you won’t have to change your clothes, you can just communicate with your family or friends while still using pajamas. 

• Sending texts can also help you to save time when you are doing any other activities, and you can also communicate with others outside of the country. 

Paragraph 3

There are important points to take into consideration when talking about messaging vs real communication, for example, privacy and how it helps and also in regards to how meaningful it is by speaking with someone face to face. 

• Privacy is something we all need when expressing our thoughts to someone else, there are some things that it is necessary to talk about privately, so that’s why messaging can be really helpful. 

• Real communication is part of our daily basis since it is such an important process of our lives it cannot be replaced by sending text messages.
