IELTS WRITING: REPLACING BOOKS WITH COMPUTERS

IELTS Writing Task 2: 

Some people think that schools should stop using books, and computers and films should be used instead. To what extent do you agree or disagree?        

 

 

SAMPLE ESSAY

(Balanced Approach)

 

 

    The use of books in schools should be replaced with modern technologies such as computers and video presentations according to some groups of people. In my opinion, books are still indispensable in schools and should be used along with the latest technologies to make students develop more skills.   

LEXICAL RESOURCE

  Indispensable [adj.] – absolutely necessary

Along [adv.] – in addition to someone or something

 

 

To begin with, stopping the use of books in schools and completely replacing them with computers and instructional videos is a bad idea since books are still important learning materials for students. The majority of books are written by professionals such as doctors of education who have expertise in the subject that students are studying. They can learn more high-quality information which they sometimes cannot acquire from reading articles online since those are suspiciously biased or less credible. Aside from that, by using books as study material in schools, students can develop reading and researching skills better as they are less distractive compared to the use of video presentations or computers, which are oftentimes challenged by technical problems that just make students lose interest in learning.   

LEXICAL RESOURCE

Expertise [noun] – expert skill in a particular field

Suspiciously [adv.] – in a way that arouses distrust

Distractive [adj.] – to have difficulty paying attention to something   

 

On the other hand, I also believe that instead of abolishing the use of books in schools,  integrating the use of modern technologies in schools is way beneficial in this digital era. Schools should make their students equipped with technical skills so they can be competitive. Nowadays, computer skills and video creation skills are a must in most industries. In order for students to get better opportunities in the job market, they must have good technical knowledge, and the best way to achieve that is to make students knowledgeable about using computers.   

LEXICAL RESOURCE

 Abolish [verb] – put an end to 

Integrate [verb] – to bring together; incorporate

Equipped [adj.] – having the skills needed to do a particular thing   

 

In conclusion, books are helpful as well as computers and video presentations in developing the skills of students, so instead of replacing them with advanced technologies, I believe it is best to integrate them for the optimal development of students’ skills.   

LEXICAL RESOURCE

  Optimal [adj.] – best; most favorable

Hi students! My name is Julius. I am the author of this IELTS website. I am a non-native English speaker who achieved the highest band score (band 9.0) on the IELTS speaking test on my first attempt.

I graduated with a degree in Communication Arts from Cebu Normal University, one of the prestigious state universities in the Philippines. I am a licensed teacher and TESOL-certified.

I once worked at a UK-based company teaching business English to Japanese businessmen who primarily work at Nikkei, a popular media company in Japan.

I created this website to help you all achieve your desired band scores so you will NOT waste so much money, time, and effort for retaking the exam numerous times. All of the sample answers I provided on this website are a product of my experience as a band 9.0 achiever and an experienced IELTS speaking coach.

I've made sure that all of the sample answers are developed in a conversational and natural way because that is how I achieved a crisp band 9.0.
