In the future, nobody will but 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?
With the advancement of technology, in the near
future
, all individuals have access
to almost all the information they want online. Sometimes, it is argued that in the future
, there will not be any printed newspapers
or books
because of this
access
. To some extent, I agree with this
notion. While
I understand people
's preference to read everything online without paying, I believe that in the future
, a few people
will still like to read hard copies of books
and magazines for several reasons.
With the rapid growth of technology, the number of electronic devices such
as smartphones, laptops, and book readers that have access
to the Internet has risen substantially, making it easy for people
to read everything online. In contrast
, the number of printed books
and newspapers
decreased significantly. Also
, reading books
and newspapers
online has many good features that attract people
, such
as it is easy to read, it is free most of the time, and it is portable. Similarly
, individuals have access
to information everywhere and anytime they want. For instance
, I have more than 100 books
and magazines on my cellphone and I can read whenever I want, it was impossible with paper books
. Despite all these advantages, it is unlikely that printed newspapers
and magazines will disappear completely in the future
.
Although
the majority of citizens tend to read everything online without paying, there will still be some printed books
and newspapers
because of many reasons. Firstly
, many people
have weak eyes, thus
, they prefer to read printed books
instead
of digital ones. Secondly
, digital screens such
as cell phones and monitors emit blue light that can detrimentally affect human health. Not only does it have bad effects on the eyes and brain, but also
it affects our sleep patterns, thus
, many people
do not like to look at screens all the time. Lastly
, it feels good to hold paper books
and flip through them, For instance
, despite my occupation being about computers and technologies and I read almost everything online, I prefer to read stories in hard copies of books
.
In conclusion, I partially agree with the notion that people
in the future
read everything online. While
I understand that with the advancement of technology, people
in the future
will have access
to any information online, I do not think that printed books
will be completely removed from the market.Submitted by amir1375.6 on

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.
