Task 2:
Although more and more people read the news on the internet, newspapers will remain an important sources of news for the majority of people Do you agree
or disagree?
Essay Plan:
Introduction refer to the task question My opinion – I disagree that most people
will continue to rely on newspapers to know the news Paragraph 2 elderly people will continue to read newspapers However, most
people will not: (1) newspapers are expensive (2) they cannot report
the latest news
Paragraph 3 most people now rely on the internet for news (1) it is instant (2) it
often also provides video for news stories (3) it is free Conclusion I disagree with the statement, because the internet will become
increasingly important as a source for news
Essay:
It is true that many people nowadays access the internet to find out about the latest news I believe that this trend will increase dramatically in the future, and I disagree that newspapers will remain a significant news source for many people
I accept that newspapers will still be popular in future among some traditional
readers, especially the elderly, though not among the general public Some people will continue to follow the habits of a lifetime, but around the world newspaper sales show a falling circulation They are becoming obsolete, and will eventually be superseded by the internet when people want to know the news It is not simply a question of price, as printed newspapers become increasingly expensive It is also a
uestion that newspapers can provide only relatively stale news when compared
with the internet This is particularly important when live events, for example
natural disasters, are being reported.The electronic media have already taken over
the role of news providers for most people Firstly, news coverage on the internet is
up to the minute, because it can be updated instantly The internet is always first to
report any breaking news Secondly, news on the internet is often accompanied by dramatic video footage of important events, such as the recent fires in the Amazon
Finally, in terms of price, accessing the news on the internet is free, whereas the
cost of a newspaper constantly increases
Trang 2In conclusion, I predict that newspapers will decline in importance and that most
people will read the news on the internet in future This trend is already evident and will continue
