WRITING--TASK 2  难度系数: AAA

Topic: Some people believe libraries are very important because we can get information and borrow books there, while some other people think computers are more important and libraries are a waste of time and money. Discuss both views and state your opinion.

SAMPLE
It is unarguable that libraries have been playing an essential role in human civilization, but some people believe computers are more useful in this digital era so libraries should give way to computers. In this essay I will first of all examine both views and then present my opinion.

It is true there are sufficient grounds arguing that computers are becoming increasingly significant due to the large number of benefits they bring us. The foremost point to be taken into account is that as a digital bank, one computer equals tens of hundreds of libraries in terms of the books to be stored. Besides, thanks to the "artificially intelligent" computers, it is far more efficient and convenient to search any book or document from a computer than from a physical library. Additionally, except for storing data, computers are also functional as search engines, multi-media and entertainment devices.

However, on the other hand, many other people see the benefits brought by traditional libraries and believe they will by no means be replaced by computers so easily. The foremost argument to make is that libraries, unlike any other institutions, could provide an ideal environment to those who want to read, concentrate, write or contemplate, while in contrast computers are full of all kinds of distractions. Moreover, in spite of letting people access information and books, libraries also provide a significant arena where like-minded people could meet and compare notes. That is how new friends are made and new inspirations are found in activities like reading clubs organized in libraries. That is also why so many libraries are located in the heart of community centres in cities like Toronto and Hong Kong.

To conclude, it is easy to see that both computers and libraries have they own merits and limitations. And my opinion is that rather than placing computers and libraries against each other, we should take advantage of both and let them complement each other so as to build a better community that is both people and technology friendly. 【339字,预估7.5分】
