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 this statement?

Technology has a direct effect on different life’s aspects and reading books or newspapers are not an exception. Nowadays a huge number of
people
use online
applications
, having access to high-speed
internet
on their cellphones. That’s why some believe online media will take place of papery products. In my opinion, various reasons will be resulted in eliminating books and newspapers
such

better accessibility with much lower prices not cutting down the trees in order to reduce paper usage. In undeveloped countries,
however
,
people
will not have access to the
internet
,
thus
paper-based products will remain. The more
people
have the opportunity of using the
internet
, the more online
applications
will be used. There are various types of news and online book’s
applications
that are available free of charge or with a slight membership price. In America,
for instance
, what most
people
use on their cellphones, is the VOA (Voice of America) radio application,
therefore
its publication is almost closed. Eco-friendly persons have had different campaigns against cutting the trees down during the past thirty years all around the world, and one of their most important concerns is the number of papers used in printing daily journals. They have convinced different publications to provide their online utilization for free, to encourage
people
to buy fewer records. The pioneer of online books’
applications
is Nilan, Sweden national writer’s company. They have
also
promoted a gadget for their app
that is
compatible with all types of smartwatches. According to the latest survey on Aug 2021, more than forty per cent of the whole population are using it as their rank one application.
On the other hand
, in undeveloped societies, most
people
do not have the
internet
on their mobile phones and will not have it in the upcoming 50 years. I assert that that unfortunately they cannot eliminate newspapers and books completely since many areas are not even equipped for mobile talk. The more undeveloped a country is, the less
internet
will spread in future.
For example
, in a number of African states
such
as Kenya, the most common way of communication is stilled telephone lines. In conclusion, I strongly believe in areas where
people
have access to the
internet
, as online apps are easily available and protect the environment, statements and magazines will be replaced by them. Having said that, in countries where no vision for having the
internet
exists,
people
will use paper products in future.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
