Example
With the increase of digital information available online, the role of the library has become obsolete. Universities
should only procure digital materials rather than constantly textbooks. Discuss both the advantages and
disadvantages of this position and give your own point of view.

In the modern era, while there is an ongoing debate with compelling reasons about whether universities should only procure digital
materials rather than constantly textbooks, it leads to intriguing arguments and broadens a person’s horizon. In my opinion, I totally
agree that universities should only procure digital materials rather than constantly textbooks, and I am going to put forth my ideas in
this essay.

At the outset, one of the key factors of my point of view is digital books have many advantages compared with traditional textbooks.
Moreover, it must be pointed out that they help eliminate the extra costs of shipping, and they also contain multi-media elements
that are not available with traditional books. For instance, a recent article published on Scientific American revealed that 85 percent
of high school students prefer to purchase digital books than going to the library and reading textbooks because they found it cheaper
and more entertaining. Therefore, the discourse proved that the advantages of procuring digital materials are eliminating the extra
costs of shipping and containing entertaining multi-media elements.

On the other hand, one of the main disadvantages of digital materials is that digital books are hard to remember. Furthermore, it is
noteworthy that some students tend to print them to write down their own notes, and they are harder to read in sunlight. Thus, the
previous ideas showed how digital books also have drawbacks.

To conclude, I hold the conclusive proof, which has been outlined above, that the advantages of procuring digital materials outweigh
the disadvantages making it the better option, and hence I strongly believe that universities should only procure digital materials
rather than constantly textbooks because they are cheaper and more entertaining.
