Students today can easily access information online, so libraries are no longer necessary. Do you agree or disagree?

#students #access #information #libraries
It is argued that libraries are unnecessary these days due to the fact that students have easy access to
information
 via the
internet
. I disagree with
this
 because libraries allow people to attain specialised types of
information
 and are important for students to study in a quiet environment. Even though it is true that students nd it much easier to get specic academic
information
 connected to their studies on the
internet
, I think that libraries are still essential in schools and universities as well as public library facilities. One reason for
this
 is that some types of specialised
information
 cannot be found on the
internet
.
For instance
, most well-known academic authors do not immediately publish their recent work online,
instead
, they publish books explaining their analyses and results.
Therefore
, these books are usually found in university or school libraries before they appear on the world wide web. Another reason why I believe that they are necessary is that students need places to concentrate and focus. Libraries are perfect environments for
this
 as they are very quiet and everyone there is motivated to investigate and study.
As a result
, they create an academic environment that encourages deep concentration. To illustrate
this
, a poll carried out by Oxford University in 2015 stated that around 62% of students spent a large proportion of their time in the library researching and writing. They claimed that a silent academic atmosphere helped them to study and get better results in their exams. In conclusion,
although
 the
internet
 is of great benet to students, I believe that libraries are still necessary as they grant access to specialised sources of
information
 and their facilities provide better conditions for studying.

Include an introduction and conclusion

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
  • In general
