Students can easily access information online, so libraries are no longer necessary. To what extent do you agree or disagree

#students #access #information #libraries
While
 it is common that citizens are not willing to go to libraries as much as ever before, it is considered conducive for them to gain information from the Internet. In my opinion, I find that libraries impossibly disappear
due to
 their unreplaceable place. There is no argument that the Internet benefits our lives in many positive ways,
such
 as easy access to studying resources or other messages. To start with, nowadays
due to
 the rapidly increasing development of network technology and various social media applications, netizens are able to search for any data they want whenever and wherever possible.
As a result
,
this
 trend can save a great amount of time and energy and concentrate on their own research or jobs.
Furthermore
, most released information online is free or cost-effective,
such
 as Twitter, online encyclopedias,etc.,
this
 development can encourage users to gain more knowledge, and
as a result
, the average educational level of the whole society would be increased to some extent.
Although
 these are some advantages of acquiring news and knowledge online mentioned above, the library is still impossible to be replaced by it, because it plays not only a place to read but functions in many roles. One of the most important reasons is that many copies of the classic articles are only in print and preserved in libraries.So that students and researchers who want to read them have to visit there.
Furthermore
, as a site servicing the public, apart from gaining knowledge, the library is
also
 a perfect place for dwellers to gather together and kill time, where people can pay a visit over there as a way to study or wind down themselves. In conclusion,
although
 there are many advantages for people to access information online, I am still in favour of the opinion that the library still plays a significant part for citizens in the community.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
