IELTS Writing Task 02 (Agree/Disagree)

 


IELTS Writing Task 02 (Agreement/Disagreement)

Question:

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?

Model Answer:

It is thought that there will be no place for printed books or newspapers in the future since people will be able to read everything and get all the information of the world by reading online materials without any payment. I completely disagree with this statement because the chicanery of the websites which make the online versions of books and magazines available to us will not be expunged thoroughly from people’s mind and the elderly citizens will not be able to abandon their long-established habit of reading books and newspapers in a traditional way.

Though it is supposed that people will lean forward to read books and newspapers from the internet without any cost in the near future, they will not be able to discard the paperback magazines and books. PDF forms of books and online news do not demand any charge, but the websites from which people read and download them are proven to be inauthentic sometimes and cause troubles in the society. The authorities of those websites provide people with fake news and abridged versions of books for their own profit for which incomplete knowledge can be derived. As a result, confusions might emerge among people while sharing information.  Besides, turbulence can break out in the society. In Japan, for example, two youngsters fought over the issue of a celebrity’s life last year and the one who got information about the celebrity from online was proven wrong as the website from which he read about that celebrity was counterfeit. Since online websites have no accountability to anyone, unchecked materials are published there to befuddle people. However, the more conscious people are, the more aware they will remain in the upcoming days.

Senior citizens have an inseparable bonding with the printed newspapers and books. They are not quite familiar with the convoluted functions of digital gadgets. Moreover, the traditional forms of magazines, books, or newspapers work as a panacea for them to infuse energy and strength in this fast-paced world. To illustrate, a survey which had been recorded in Bangladesh in 2022 showed that 75% old people preferred to visit libraries and read paperback books even in the age of eighty and above because this habit keep them motivated and unlocks a  huge opportunity for socialization. So, paper books and the old format of newspapers are irreplaceable in the elderly citizens’ life.

In this highly modernized world, it can be assumed that online news, articles, magazines, and e-books will occupy the older printed items. But this essay has shown why I totally refute this perception. The sources of the internet can be misleading and create anarchy for which they will not be able to win people’s trust. It is impossible for the aged members to bid a farewell to the printed books and newspapers for the digital ones as the former helps them restore vitality, vigour, and offer the taste of socialization.
