Answer 1

One possible version: E-Books, Good or Bad?

It’s reported that school students in Korea started to use e-books from 2011. There’ll be more and more kinds of e-books. The e-books will come into everyone’s house in the near future. Hearing of the news, some people are for the e-books. They think e-books are so convenient and they could look up the information just in a few seconds. Besides, they think e-books are good for the environment, because there is no paper in them. In this way, people could save lots of trees, which will make the world more beautiful.

However, every coin has two sides. Some people have the opposite opinion. They think e-books aren’t so good for us students because they will make them spend much more time on computer than they do now, which is bad for the eyes. What’s more, they can’t enjoy the pleasure of reading.

As for me, I think the e-books are good, not only because they are good for the environment, but they can offer vivid pictures or flash to help us understand better. Furthermore, e-books are much lighter, we don’t need to carry the heavy books but just take an e-book in our pockets.
