Are there more advantages than disadvantages to such services?
FIRST, WE SHOULD PARAPHRASE THE QUESTION. OK LET’S DO IT: PEOPLE ARE USING A LOT OF
ONLINE LANGUAGE TRANSLATION APPS. WE WILL PARAPHRASE IT LIKE THIS: LANGUAGE
TRANSLATION APPS ARE WIDELY USED NOWADAYS. SO WE CAN SEE THAT PARAPHRASE
MEANS SAYING THE EXACT THING USING DIFFERENT WORDS AND STRUCTURES. HERE WE ARE
USING PASSIVE VOICE INSTEAD OF ACTIVE VOICE. SO WE DO NOT NEED TO WRITE THE WORDS
PEOPLE AND NOWADAYS. THIS IS PARAPHRASING. 2ND SENTENCE IS ARE THERE MORE
ADVANTAGES THAN DISADVANTAGES TO SUCH SERVICES. SO WE ARE REQUIRED TO WRITE
DOWN THE ANSWER TO THE QEUESTION. I WILL ANSWER TO THE QUESTION LIKE THAT: I THINK
THAT THE ADVANTAGES OF THIS TREND IS MORE THAN ITS DISADVANTAGES. HERE I’M
ANSWERING THE QUESTION BY SAYING ADVANTAGES ARE MORE THAN DISADVANTAGES. THIS
IS THE EXACT ANSWER.
