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

#people #e-books #technology #newspaper #magazines
Our life is surrounded by numerous types of technological devices that some of them
use
 are using to catch information. By emerging digital books and the websites of news and science, some people believe that technology will completely cause them to disappear print out books. I would agree that the number of printed books will decrease significantly in the future, but I do believe that paper-based books will never be replaced totally. The number of people who
use
 E-books and computers for reading, increase dramatically in the
last
 decades. Perhaps the main reason why reading news and books on the internet are becoming the
first
 priority for some people is that, people can read the latest news at the moment so they are still updated.
Besides
, they can access the content of the articles and books easily. Take some researchers as an example, sometimes they should find a specific sentence in the book, it is clear that browsing through the E-books for finding
this
 word is more convenient than paper-based books.
Although
 the
use
 of digital books is becoming more popular, the importance of traditional books and magazines should not be ignored. It is considered that the radiation of the computer screen would cause eye irritation, and give a negative effect on their eyes' health, so some people have a tendency to
use
 these books
instead
 of E-books.
Such
 as the case for me, when reading a book by
computer
Suggestion
the computer
, my eyes are sure to itching.
In addition
, in some areas people suffer from a lack of access to the internet and advanced facilities,
hence
 they have no choice and they should
use
 traditional books for their purposes. In conclusion, I believe that despite all progress in technology, the role of paper-based books should not be denied and we need both of them for our aims.

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
