Activity 2: Speaking Homework 你班同学最近就电子书是否会取代传统的书籍展开了辩论，请你写信向你的外国朋友Jane 介绍辩论的情况。 1. 60% 的同学认为电子书会取代传统书籍，40%的同学认为电子书不会取代传统书籍，他们这么认为的原因分别是什么； 2. 你的观点。 注意：词数80左右；可以适当增加连接词使行文连贯。 Dear Jane, Recently, our class had a debate about whether e-books will replace traditional books. 60% of the students believe e-books will take the place of traditional ones. They think e-books are more convenient to carry and store, as you can have thousands of books in a single e-reader. Also, e-books are often cheaper and allow for quick access to various titles online. On the other hand, 40% of the students hold that traditional books won’t be replaced. They argue that traditional books offer a unique reading experience—you can feel the paper, smell the ink, and easily mark pages. Besides, reading physical books is easier on the eyes and doesn’t require electronic devices. As for me, I think both have their advantages. While e-books are convenient for daily reading and travel, traditional books are irreplaceable for the genuine reading pleasure and collection value.
