In recent years, more and more people are choosing to read e-books rather than paper books. DO the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

Over the past decades, it has been observed that electronic
books
 have become a major reading
device
. As the technology is increasingly prevalent, its downside has turned out to become a matter of concern. While its disadvantages may deserve public attention, we should acknowledge that e-
book
 usage has become an indispensable part of our daily lives. The related drawbacks of using e-
books
 are exposed in various forms. Some
book
 lovers argue that if people read through an electronic
device
, the experience of reading in a paper
book
 will be lost. To be more specific, the smell of new
books
, the texture of paper

, and the feeling of turning pages.
Furthermore

 some e-

 products, take kindle as an example, are able to download enormous
books
 that are free-charged, they still need the initial cost of buying a suitable

Hence

In addition
, notwithstanding the small expenditure on membership of e-readers’ accounts, more categories of literature can be found in online libraries, meaning that readers no longer need to search for a long period to find the desirable

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
