With the rise of e-books comes the decline in paper books. Some people see this as a good step forward while others do not. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend?

#rise #e-books #decline #paper #books #people #step #trend

It is taught by some that the increasing number of E-books is causing a decrease of PaperBooks and

this

is a good development,

However

, others opine differently, they believe it is affecting the reading culture of individuals. Despite the disadvantages of

this

trend, I believe there are advantages of having E books.

To begin

with, accessibility is a major benefit E-books offers to the society. These days, it is easy to get any type of

book

online,

this

is because the internet provides customers with various sites and online stores that sells different categories of reads. With

this

ease, people would rather purchase their novels and alternative books online than visiting a physical store, where they will go through a long wait and search to get a particular type of

book

Additionally

, online books cannot go bad or misplaced. Since these books are on the internet and are electronics, they are not susceptible to any physical damage, unlike physical books that can get damaged by water, heat etc. What's more is that, online books can be shared with other people;

therefore

different people can have the same

book

at the same time.

This

is not the same with Paper books, as one person can only read it at a time.

On the other hand

, there are

also

some disadvantages of Electronic- books. The most observed is that,

this

trend has affected the reading culture of many people, most especially the Youth. According to a survey done at the Babcock University, 90% of youth who read online, reported that they hardly finish a

book

This

is because they easily distracted by social media platforms, and

also

find quite cumbersome reading from their devices which was not the same with reading from a Paper

book

This

attributed to bad reading culture associated with E-books.

Additionally

, The constant staring at computer screens and devices for a long time, have contributed to the increase of Bad Sights

this

was reported by the Medical Association in Nigeria. These fact outline the demerits of reading from an Electronic

Book

. In conclusion,

Although

people can enjoy the convenience, sharing and long term availability of E books, the disadvantages should

also

be considered.

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

Summary
Restatement of thesis
Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

In conclusion
To conclude
To summarize
Finally
In a nutshell
