A middle-aged man In my opinion, books are better than Internet. The Internet has its advantages. It is vast and filled with all kinds of information. However, I have to screen through piles of data from uncertain sources and then get what I want. Anyone can say anything about any topic they want, without regard to truth or not. Compared with Internet, books are more reliable. Books provide good source of information and knowledge. Yes, you may say it is faster to find the information on the Internet, but books provide greater source of information.
What's more, books have a more mental significance than the Internet or TV can ever wish to show. Before the advent of the Internet, TV and radio, books were the major form of entertainment, sending readers into fantastic adventures. We can imagine everything in our mind and sparkle our creativity. When we watch videos or TV, our creativity cannot flourish, for everything is directly shown to us.
An undergraduate Are the Internet, TV or radio better than books? For me, yes, they are. They allow me to connect with others all over the world, and give me freedom to express myself.
Books are so dumb! Books are such a waste of time...The Internet or Google is faster and gives me more information! I think that books are too old. They are out of style. They are of no use. I always got the book that has the general topic but the contents aren't the things I have been looking for. It takes me so much time to look for books in the library while my classmates have their work done quickly by use of computers. I really hate reading so much words and I can hardly get what I want anyway! Whereas, the Internet gives me information of whatever I have typed in.
A youngster I think the Internet, TV or radio have many advantages over books. First of all, it's the content. They have texts, images, videos, audio and flash. Second, the ways of learning are various. There are other ways to learn than just reading. I don't want to read, but I can listen to audios on radio, watch videos on TV. However, in books, I have to force myself just to read, read and read. Third, the Internet makes it easier to find what I need to learn. I can find whatever I need to learn just by searching the key words through the Internet. For books, I need to go to different libraries just to find a single book, only to find that the book you've been looking for doesn't have the topic that you want to read and learn. Fourth, they save money and space. For books, I have to spend money buying them. Moreover, they occupy a shelf to be stored. However, almost all information is free on the Internet, and all you need is either a phone, a laptop, a tablet or a PC to store and view the information.
【正确答案】[范文] Will Internet and TV Replace Books?
Internet and TV, as the mainstream of modern media, play a very important role in information transformation. They present a colorful and vivid world in front of us. Some people believe new media like Internet and TV are more convenient than books, hence they
assert that new media would
take the place of books in a couple of years. However, facts show us that each medium has its own advantages and disadvantages. Books will not
retreat from our life, either.
Admittedly, Internet and TV bring about great convenience to us. Firstly, Internet and TV can transform information
instantly. They can tell us what has happened in the world right away with very impressive pictures or videos. Secondly, Internet and TV also play an important educational role. For instance, people can study history, culture, language and cooking skills from some educational programs on TV or the Internet. Lastly, people can get entertainment from Internet and TV, which
are abundant in interesting and exciting electronic games and adventures.
However, we should not neglect the importance of books, which are very convenient to carry and easy to get. Moreover, books as a way of recording information are more reliable
to a certain extent. Information recorded in books has a higher degree of
validity when compared with lies widely spread on the Internet. What's worse, a system crash can destroy all the information stored. Last but not least, books and written words are for people to savor, appreciate and study thoroughly, while TV, Internet and radio are for people to get access to abundance of information, looking for what they need. That is to say, these two different categories of media are meant for different purposes, and thus each has its own reason of existence.
In conclusion, books are one of the main sources of information and they are very convenient for people to get access to. Books will not disappear from our life in the future, though TV and Internet have had such a profound influence on our life.
【答案解析】 思路点拨
近年来，电视、网络和广播越来越普及，一些人认为它们会完全取代书籍和其他书面的信息记录方式，题目询问考生是否同意这种观点。
如果你是完全支持或者反对这种观点，那么只需要在给出自己观点的基础上一一列出理由即可(一般为3～4个)。但需要注意的是，文章300字的长度决定了考生必须要充分展开论证自己给出的每一个分论点，否则要想凑够字数，就会变成一个理由的列表。如果不是单纯地支持或者反对，而是比较折中或者综合的态度，那么就应该把网络等现代媒体和书籍等传统纸质媒体两者的优点都加以详细论述，最后得出结论。以下思路供参考：
·按照常规，在文章开篇首先叙述材料观点，最后给出自己的观点：书籍和电视、网络各有优缺点，书籍的地位不能被取代。
·中间部分从两方面论证自己的观点：首先论述电视和网络的优点，例如：我们可以在电视和网络上快速获取信息，可以通过电视和网络进行娱乐等；其次论述书籍的优点，例如：便于携带，用于深入研究等。
·最后的结尾部分，重申自己的观点：书籍对我们很重要，不可替代。
在写作的时候，切忌论述空洞，要举例说明电视和网络与书籍各自的优点，在布局时这两部分论述要保持平衡。
