It is argued that people will tend to do their readings from online sources to avoid spending money on books or newspaper. This essay totally disagrees with this statement. online libraries are not going to be completely free, as they aren't now, also reading from a paper base source brings far more joy to population who are interested in literature.
It is argued that people will increasingly turn to online sources for reading to avoid spending money on books or newspapers. This essay strongly disagrees with this view. Online libraries are unlikely to become completely free, as they are not at present, and reading from physical sources provides far greater enjoyment for those passionate about literature.
Although it is assumed by many that an E-book must be entirely without payment, it is not possible. Clearly, running a website or application as an online library has significant costs for developers and they have to be able cover expenditures for variety of items such as providing a good server and the support service. Also, publishers need to pay authors or their journalists therefore people who work in those careers can keep writing. As an example, we can see current online books have fees in online stores and they are providing customer service and updated publishes.
Although many assume that e-books must be entirely free, this is unrealistic. Maintaining a website or application as an online library involves substantial costs for developers, who must cover expenses such as server maintenance and customer support. Furthermore, publishers need to compensate authors and journalists to sustain quality content production. For example, current online book platforms charge fees while providing services and regular updates.
Additionally, paper books give readers a sense of satisfaction and book-lovers enjoy turning pages while reading. In fact, people are much more involved in online world and their gadgets than they want to be and some individuals seek comfort from reading a book in their hand in an completely disconnected environment. Moreover, turning pages is always followed by a sense of accomplishment and it is enjoyable to put a finished novel back into the bookshelf. For instance, my mother kept all of my childhood stories that she had read to me, likewise myself, I hold on any book that I have enjoyed from the beginning.
Additionally, physical books offer readers a unique sense of satisfaction that digital formats cannot replicate. In an increasingly digital world, many individuals deliberately seek the comfort of holding a physical book in a distraction-free environment. The tactile experience of turning pages creates a sense of accomplishment, and placing a finished book on a shelf provides lasting satisfaction. For instance, many people, like my mother who preserved my childhood storybooks, cherish keeping physical copies of meaningful books.
in conclusion, it can't be assumed that readers will use web-based materials to reduce additional costs due to hidden expenses that online publishers have to afford to continue servicing. Also, the fact that only a physical book can make humans feel fulfilled shouldn't neglected.
In conclusion, the assumption that readers will primarily use web-based materials to reduce costs is flawed due to the inherent expenses of digital publishing. Moreover, the irreplaceable fulfillment derived from physical books should not be underestimated.

Feedback on the Essay

Task Achievement:
The essay presents a clear position (disagreeing with the statement) and supports it with relevant arguments. The response addresses the prompt directly, discussing both the financial aspects of online reading and the emotional benefits of printed books. However, some points could be developed further for greater depth. For example, the argument about online reading not being entirely free could be strengthened with more specific examples or data. Additionally, the conclusion effectively summarizes the main points but could be more concise.

Coherence and Cohesion:
The essay is logically structured, with each paragraph focusing on a distinct argument. However, there are minor issues with transitions between ideas. For instance, the shift from discussing costs to the emotional benefits of books could be smoother. Some sentences are overly long or awkwardly phrased, which affects readability (e.g., "online libraries are not going to be completely free, as they aren't now"). Using clearer connectors (e.g., "Furthermore," "On the other hand") would improve flow.

Lexical Resource:
The vocabulary is generally appropriate, but there are some inaccuracies and awkward word choices (e.g., "paper base source" should be "printed sources," "an completely disconnected environment" should be "a completely disconnected environment"). Some phrases could be more precise (e.g., "population who are interested in literature" could be "readers" or "book enthusiasts"). A wider range of synonyms and more natural phrasing would enhance lexical variety.

Grammar and Accuracy:
There are several grammatical errors, including article misuse ("an E-book" should be "an e-book"), subject-verb agreement issues ("online libraries... isn't" should be "aren't"), and incorrect prepositions ("pay authors or their journalists" could be "pay authors and journalists"). Some sentences are fragmented or lack clarity (e.g., "Also, publishers need to pay authors or their journalists therefore people who work in those careers can keep writing"). Proofreading for grammar and sentence structure would significantly improve accuracy.

Suggestions for Improvement:

  1. Clarify Arguments: Expand on why online reading isn’t free—mention subscription models, ads, or paywalls.
  2. Smooth Transitions: Use linking words more effectively to connect ideas between paragraphs.
  3. Refine Vocabulary: Replace awkward phrasing with more natural expressions (e.g., "paper base source" → "printed materials").
  4. Correct Grammar Errors: Pay attention to articles, verb agreement, and sentence structure.
  5. Strengthen Examples: Provide more concrete evidence (e.g., statistics on e-book pricing or reader preferences).

Overall, the essay presents a coherent argument but would benefit from clearer expression, stronger examples, and improved grammatical accuracy.
