Some people say that E- books and modern technology will totally replace traditional newspaper and magazines to what extent do you agree or disagree.

These days, some people argue that traditional newspapers and magazines would be completely replaced by electronic books and other latest technology.
However
, I mainly disagree with
this
statement. Paper books would not be abolished because of the advantages in archiving. It is clear that the paper book is a substance, so it has an advantage in preserving.
In other words
, contents in modern technology
such
as e-books are just data so it will have a risk of disappearing in the future. For one thing, the magazines always play a major role in generating the trend and fashion. Fashion trends have been changing quickly in all past periods. If people want to study the history of fashion, researching old magazines would be the best choice.
Accordingly
, archiving the magazines are essential for cultivating human history.
On the other hand
, e-books and other internet contents are much more convenient and are in accordance with modern life. It is true that nowadays, most people choose to read news on the internet rather than traditional newspaper. In Japan, the circulation of newspapers has significantly decreased in the
last
10 years.
That is
because people’s activity has been changing with the development of smartphones and reading news on the smartphone would fit more their lifestyles. It can be said that the circulation of newspapers would continue to be in decline and the electronic articles would be on the increase the share in the near future. In conclusion,
although
the share of e-books and other computer-based contents will continue growing, I believe that traditional-style magazines will not be replaced by e-books.

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
