Band 7.5

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?

#future #nobody #newspapers #books
In recent years, the number of people who buy printed
books
 or journals has been decreasing. Some people claim that people will be able to read whatever they want using online platforms without any charge. In my view, I agree with
this
 statement for the following reasons.
Firstly
, reading an article or a book by using electronic devices is more convenient than reading a hard copy. Electronic devices
such
 as laptops and tablets weigh less than some university textbooks so we can carry a single device
instead
 of wearing heavy backpacks.
In addition
, studies carried out by several universities indicate that
students
 often prefer reading electronic
books
 rather than printed ones. Specifically, it is easier to highlight some crucial words and search specific topics in electronic
books
, that are available online without paying.
Secondly
, the public, especially
students
, cannot afford scientific journals or
books
 that are
highly priced
Add a hyphen
highly-priced
show examples
. To be aware of recent scientific advances and gain knowledge, we should constantly read from reliable as well as international sources. Online mediums and websites that contain free
books
 and articles give the opportunity to accelerate
students
’ academic achievements. If there were no online websites that provide free
books
 or journals,
students
 will face some financial problems and they will not be willing to study hard. To conclude,
although
 there are some detrimental effects of reading online without paying, due to the convenience and financial benefits to
students
 I agree that sales of printed
books
 or newspapers will be minimalized in the future.
