Your Principal has suggested that all books should be removed

from the school library and replaced by a larger suite of


computers. He has asked for students’ opinions to be published
in the school magazine.
Write an article for your school magazine stating your views.
The topic of replacing books with tablets and whether to read an e-
book or a printed version has recently raised a lot of eyebrows. Ever
since the principal has suggested removing all the books from our library
and replacing them with computers, a heated debate has started among
students, parents and teachers.
On one side of the argument, some students are very much in
favour of the computers. They assert that books are boring and that
surfing the internet is easier and more fun and interactive. Moreover, the
internet provides a chance for more illustrations.
On the other side, sceptics argue against the idea as they think
reading a book is considered to be more rewarding and enjoyable. In
addition, spending too much time staring at a computer screen can lead
to a number of eye problems.

In short, I believe that it is progress is inevitable and that these


tools (gadgets) are essential; however, they cannot totally replace the
traditional paper version of books.
