Write a passage about traditional printing and its
future. Use the sentences you have written in
Activities 5 and 6 to help you.
It’s hard to imagine a world without printing because we have so many
printed things now. Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, but books
weren’t printed at that time. They were written by hand, so few books were
produced, and, as a result, few people could read. Printing was invented during
the Sui and Tang Dynasties. After printing developed, books became cheaper,
so more people learnt to read. Today, the Internet is growing very fast. A much
larger amount of information can be stored in more varied forms on the Internet
than in books. As a result, in the future, the Internet will probably be more
important than printing.
