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 that statement?

There is an opinion that everyone will read everything online on their electronic devices so printed newspapers or
books
will no longer be needed. Personally, I disagreed with
this
view for several reasons.
To begin
with, I agree that there have been thousands of websites that
people
can access to read articles for free.
However
, many of them are illicit, some
people
scan printed
books
and upload PDF files on the Internet to make a profit from them. Because of that, the hard work, and effort of authors are not rewarded.
Besides
, spending too much time on devices
such
as smartphones, and tablets can cause health problems
such
as myopia, and depression.
In addition
, reading physical
books
is less likely to be distracted since there are tons of notifications on phones that are able to annoy the readers
while
reading.
Next,
people
can get better sleep by reading printed
books
or press. Some research has demonstrated that blue lights from screens and devices can hinder our ability to fall asleep at night, so reading a physical book is gentler on your eyes and get a better sleeping habit.
Thus
, many book-worm prefer the smell of paper and are appealed to holding a book when reading it. In conclusion, I strongly disagree with the statement that
people
will no longer pay for printed newspapers and
books
.

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.
