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 argument.

The technology revolution has changed
people
habits and reading is one of those things. Nowadays,
people
tend to read digital
books
and magazines that are available online. Despite many advantages, I personally do not believe that printed
versions
will be out of demand. It is clear that more and more
people
choose to read online newspapers and
books
in recent days because of their availability and convenience.
People
can read online
books
everywhere with an internet connection and a suitable device.
For instance
,
people
can use their time on a train to read news on their phones.
In addition
, most online information is free of charge,
hence
it is reachable and affordable for everyone. With these superiorities, reading digital
versions
is becoming a tendency.
However
, printed
versions
cannot be replaced completely. In fact, reading physical
books
is more friendly with
people
’s eyes and is far healthier. Not everyone feels comfortable with reading digital
books
for a long time.
For example
, the elders, who are not familiar with technology and have trouble with their eyes often prefer a physical book to the online one.
Moreover
, there are many readers, who treat reading printed
versions
as their hobby or collect physical
books
to show their class. To conclude, reading online information is going to be an undeniable trend.
Nonetheless
, I am not convinced that there will be a day that nobody will buy physical
books
anymore. There is always room for printed ones as its demand will never end.

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.
