Some people think books are losing importance as a source of information and entreteinment. To what extent do you agree?

With the appearance of e-
books
, simple
books
 lost their popularity and became useless. And some people think that
books
 are losing importance as a source of information and entertainment. I mostly agree with that point, but is it really true? On the one hand, online sources of material are more comfortable to
use
.
Moreover
, everyone who has an internet connection has access to it. And it's
also
 easy to
use
, because it contains all the information you need in one place, and it takes less time to find what you need. The statistic shows us that the popularity of
such
 sources is rapidly growing, so more and more people are likely to
use
 internet sources rather than
paper
books
. But
on the other hand
, in terms of ,entertainment it's far more pleasant to read
paper
books
. An esthetic of
books
 and the feeling of carrying them makes a lot of people read a
paper
 book
instead
 of reading a plastic e-book.
Furthermore
, it gives authors an opportunity to make more money from selling their products.
For instance
,
paper
books
 are more expensive, and human beings are ready to pay for them. So reading a non-digital book is not only a good way to spend your free time, but
also
 it's the best way to support your favourite author. In a nutshell, I totally agree that
books
 are not so widespread as a source of getting material, because they are uncomfortable to
use
. But I suppose, that in the foreseeable ,future
books
 won't lose their popularity as a way of getting the pleasure of reading.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
