WRITING TASK 2
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Write about the following topic:
Students can easily access information online, so libraries are no longer necessary.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Write at least 250 words.
There are tho who opine that libraries are of no significance any more in current society due to the possibility of pupils finding what they need to know on the internet. Personally, I totally disagree with this statement becau libraries can not only be the place for residents to socialize but also be regarded as a tourist attraction.
The primary reason supporting my stance is that libraries provide people with a venue to interact with others. When people, either children or adults, read books and find information in the library, they can meet a great number of people who have gone there with the same purpo. They may have conversations with each other regarding their interests, studies, and work, as well as become friends in the end.
Another important point I consider relevant is that a library can be a landmark of a city to attract visitors. For example, when people plan to visit Canberra, the capital city of Australia, the National Library is a popular destination, although there is not much to e in this Australian jurisdiction. Upon arrival, visitors take pictures of the exterior of the building and some may enter it to take a look.
In conclusion, I have strong opposition to the viewpoint that libraries are not important any longer becau of students’ accessibility to knowledge on the World Wide Web. After all, people can make friends when they visit libraries; meanwhile, libraries can attract many travelers if nicely designed. Therefore, it is suggested that the local government should still make an effort to maintain a library in this era.
