culture is found on the internet, museums are
not needed anymore.
Do you agree or disagree?  In the contemporary world, It is argued that museums are
unnecessary in the public because all historical and cultural sources
are accumulated on the Internet. Although I somewhat agree with this
view because internet sources are more practical and affordable, it
does not make a person reaching this information online feel the
same as being in museums, by providing reliable information.

Children nowadays spend a great deal of time
19.09.2019
watching television. However, television cannot
replace the book as a learning tool, which is why
children are less well‐educated today. To what
extent do you agree with this statement?
 
 Sample! 18
 It is true that children who are irregular viewers of tv channels have
become the main victims of this abysmal trend. It is because television
cannot substitute the book as a learning device that youngsters who
waste their time in front of the screen lag behind in their studies. I to
some extent agree that some public channels aim to contribute to the
development of individuals, especially teenagers; however, I am
convinced that most of the broadcasting companies work for
commercial purposes rather than pursue educational objectives.
