In the future, nobody will buy printed newspapers or books because they will be able to read everything they want online without paying. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

With the advancement of the internet, fewer and fewer
people
are able to browse information freely, digital publishing is
also
increased by
this
trend.
However
, I disagree that
people
will not buy newspapers and
books
in the future because
people
read anything online freely.
Although
people
can read online without paying,
people
should pay for publishers to access the information they would like to read and the convenience of printed publications can not be replaced.
Firstly
, useful or high-quality reports or data should be charged because
this
is intellectual property that can contribute to various purposes.
For example
, the well-known magazine: “the economist” is the most prestigious and word-of-mouth magazine. The cutting-edge content and detailed analyzed reports are so knowledgeable that many institutes select it as class material.
This
knowledge is edited by tons of experts and journalists.
People
should pay for it no matter if it is physical or virtual,
thus
the publisher of the Economist can be sustained and produce better articles for those who are avid readers.
Secondly
, paper
books
provide unique features which are irreplaceable
such
as easier to turn pages and be
stored
Replace the word
store
show examples
.
For instance
, I am fond of reading
books
to my children. Physical
books
enable us to hold and turn pages of the
books
together, creating invaluable chances of interaction. Whenever I see the picture
books
read on the bookshelf, it reminds me of the enjoyment and memory of shared reading.
Although
those
books
also
publish digital versions, I still prefer to purchase physical
books
due to the features I mentioned. In sum, good knowledge resources should be charged and printed publications will still be reserved.
Although
the trend of technology allows
people
to access a variety of reading materials. I disagree that
people
will not purchase paper publications because of unlimited reading online.

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
