IELTS WRITING: REPLACING BOOKS WITH COMPUTERS

IELTS Writing Task 2: Replacing Books With Computers and Films In Schools. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 

 

 

TASK

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 an extremely bad idea since books are still an important learning material for students. All 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 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 in 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

DISCLAIMER: I got a band 9 in the speaking section, but not in writing. These days, I’m practicing hard to write better academic essays because I plan to take the IELTS academic exam soon. My goal is to get a band of 9.0. Yes! Since I’m already preparing hard for the exam, I better aim for the stars!

So, now, I’m creating sample essays here on my website to simply document my journey in learning how to write better academic essays. You are free to read these sample essays and perhaps get ideas.

Let it be known that I’m not recommending anyone to copy my essay structure, my way of using the vocabulary, the paraphrasing, and to rely on my essays. Yes, I’m confident to say that you can trust me in the speaking section since I got a band 9, however, as for writing, like you, I’m still learning.

I’m just posting my sample essays to motivate you to prepare better as I do. I’m preparing for my exam and learning to the best of my ability. Feel free to leave a comment below. Let’s learn together. Let’s make our dream a reality. Yes, I strongly believe that we can do it! Practice is the key.

Cheers,

Julius
