While quite a few people suggest using electronic books, others still favour hard copies of books as a medium to study for children. Knowledge should be accumulated from wherever and whatever possible irrespective of the medium and in my opinion children should be given access to both online and offline reading with some guidelines to follow. To start with, online reading material is ubiquitous. Not only can it be accessed anywhere but

also

our devices,

such

as smartphones, tablets and laptops, can store thousands of e-books read anytime.

Moreover

, there are multifarious forms of e-books available,

such

as audio books, animated books et-

cetera

. These can prove to be beneficial in educating children and develop in them the essential reading habits.

Last

but not the least, soft copies of books are often comes at a fraction of price as compared to their physical counterparts and plenty of books are

also

available free of cost to read online.

This

can be a blessing in disguise for those children who cannot afford books.

On the other hand

, the pivotal reason for opting

printed

Suggestion

to print

books over e-books

are

introduces an alternative

the detrimental effect on the eyes of the latter one. Devices used to read online eject blue-rays which put strain on children's eyes and can be insidious if used for long hours.

Furthermore

, the engaging experience of reading a physical book cannot be replicated by its soft copy. Owing to

this

, even though one has a profuse amount of books stored on their devices yet seldom read any of them.

Lastly

, not every book has a digital copy uploaded on the web and plenty of books that children have in their curriculum are not available online.

Hence

, they do not have any alternative except reading printed books. According to research, children have

this

supreme power to grasp things quickly as compared to elder people. In my opinion, no child should be devoid of any opportunity to learn new things and accumulate knowledge irrespective of the source. Until and unless a book provides relevant content and helps a younger one prosper, online or offline should not matter.

Although

, guardians should ensure teaching their children about the ill-effects of reading online longer hours.

Lastly

, used books can be preferred over the new ones as they cost less while providing the same content. To conclude, where digital books are readily available, cheap and versatile in form, printed books are easy on the eyes and more engaging. Drawbacks of both the media sources are easily avoidable and children should be propelled to harness their individual benefits.

Some people think it's better to choose friends who always have the same opinons as thet. Other people believe it's good to have frineds who sometimes disagree with them. Discuss both these views and give your own opinon.
There is an ongoing debate in the society these days where some opine that it's benefitial to have friends who share same intrests and hobbies. whilst others disagree and thinks different mindset and seprate opinion is necessary in friendship. I believe completely agree with the latter statement, different opinions and disagreements help an individual to understand things from third person prespective.

Some people believe that children should be taught by their parents about how to function as useful members of society, while others believe that sending children to educational institutions is the best way for them to study this. Although the latter opinion can be beneficial in some cases, I believe that family upbringing plays a more important role in educating children to be good parts of the community.

Describe a restaurant or a cafe you often go to. You should say: 👍 Where it is What it looks like What kind of services are provided What kind of food you like there/ What kind of food is famous? And say why you like it
I’ll start to talk about my fascinating restaurant and often go there. It’s a buffet and Hong Kong’s hotpot style. It’s named MONGKOK. The first time I ate there was a year ago at The mall Ngamwongwan department store. But after that, I usually go to the M9 square branch on Huai Kwang road more often because it’s less crowded and there’s plenty of parking. I think I eat there with my friend once a month. The cuisine is inspired from Hong Kong’s street and the decor features vibrance red and colorful colors that made me hungrier when I visited; in addition, there are two types of table that are a long counter for those who come alone and the family seats. Personally I often choose family seats because It’s quite convenient when I want to talk with my friends. MONGKOK is our favorite restaurant because we both love the taste of soups and the varieties of foods. I think there are five categories of soups and my friend loves mushroom soup. As for me, I prefer MALA soup over others. In...

Many governments think that economic progress is their most important goal. Some people, however, think that other types of progress are equally important for a country. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
With more developed countries emphasizing on building up their economies, there are different voices raising from citizens that progress in other aspect are playing an important role for a country too. In my opinion, I believe having a good economy is always the first priority in a country's development.
