Some people say that we do not need printed paper newspapers. Do you agree or disagree?

Paper
newspapers
 were the best method of news transmission until the invention of the radio and television.
Conversely
, now we live in a digitalized era where there is easy access to
information
. My stance on
this
 statement is that I strongly agree with the discontinuation of printed
paper
newspapers
 and I will explain why in the
next
 paragraphs. Hard copies of
newspapers
 had great value in the past since it was the only option to get reliable
information
. But, with the emerging modern technology reading hard papers has become an old fashion.
In addition
 to that,
this
 conventional method of printing papers costs highly which will not be worth it anymore. The younger generation is not interested in reading printed
information
as a result
 of the digital transition of
information
 technology.
Therefore
 imminent extinction of
paper
newspapers
 is there. As a solution to continue the tradition, they can introduce a digital online newspaper
instead
.
Moreover
, modern news streams based on mobile network systems and the internet has enormous success points.
First
, it provides constant news updates on time instantly.
Second
, it is convenient as all most everyone has a mobile phone or internet access and
also
, it does not cost much like printed ones. The
information
 should be accurate and communicable quickly to act on it, in the case of an emergency. To encapsulate, I reckon my opinion is that it is a waste of money to print conventional
paper
newspapers
 which are not up to date and it is time to discontinue them and go for pretty good pathways.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
