19/06 Printed newspapers or books: opinion essay :)

Technology is changing how people do their daily activities, and reading is not the exception. Some people think that in the future, with the widespread use of the internet, everyone will prefer to read online for free than to purchase printed newspapers or books. While I partially agree with that statement, I also believe that physical reading materials will still be a part of people's reading habits.

Firstly, it is reasonable to assume that people would prefer reading for free online than spending money on the equivalent physical content. That is because they will save money, particularly with expensive books that require to be imported or with books that are written in other languages. For example, when I was buying books on Amazon, the transportation fee was as expensive as the book. I was only able to read it because I found the digital version of it.

Secondly, even though digital content is sometimes free, there are some users that prefer buying books and newspapers in order to avoid the distractions that come with reading online. It can not be denied that the internet have affected our ability to focus on specific activities. For example, many people, instead of finishing the book they are reading online, they ended up watching videos or playing video games.

In conclusion, I believe that in the future, people will still read books or newspaper in its digital and physical form. The former will allow people to read without spending a lot of money, and the latter will help them to avoid distractions.

QUESTION: Do you mean "printed books" or "ebooks"?

Technology is changing how many people do their daily activities, and reading is not the exception.

Some people think that in the future, with the widespread use of the internet, everyone will prefer to read online for free rather than to purchase printed newspapers or books.

LOGIC: Some online reading is *not* free. For example, the New York Times charges for its electronic articles. By contrast, some books from the books from libraries are free.

MY GUESS: While I partially agree with that statement, I also believe that physical reading materials will still be a part of people's reading habits.many people prefer printed reading materials and this how they read.

Firstly, it is reasonable to assume that people would prefer reading for free online than spending money on the equivalent physical content.LOGIC: You are conflating "online" vs. "printed" with "free" vs. "paid subscriptions."

"no exception" is a commonly used phrase for this, but "not an exception" would also be grammatically correct.

Some people think that in the future, with the widespread use of the internet, everyone will prefer to read online for free rather than to purchase printed newspapers or books.

Just "than" sounds okay, but "rather than" sounds more natural in my opinion. Also, when using verbs in joined clauses like this, it is more common to only use "to" in the first verb. For example:
"On my days off, I like to read, write, and draw" is more natural than "On my days off, I like to read, to write, and to draw"

Secondly, even though digital content is sometimes free, there are some users that prefer buying books and newspapers in order to avoid the distractions that come with reading online.

It can not be denied that the internet haves affected our ability to focus on specific activities.

"the internet" requires verbs to be conjugated in their singular form:
"the internet is...", "the internet has...", "the internet doesn't", etc.

For example, many people, instead of finishing the book they are reading online, they endend up watching videos or playing video games.

In English, we don't include a pronoun here. In hypothetical cases, it's better to use "end up". If you talking about people whose habits you had observed, you could use "ended up", for example:
"The study showed that for many people, instead of finished the books they were reading online, ended up watching videos or playing video games"

In conclusion, I believe that in the future, people will still read books or newspapers in itstheir digital and physical forms.

The possessive pronoun here refers to both books and newspapers, so it would be "their" instead of "its" because you're talking about multiple things. Similarly, we add an "s" onto "form".

The former will allow people to read without spending a lot of money, and the latter will help them to avoid distractions.

Feedback

Great writing, none of the flaws affected the meaning of your words.
I agree with you, I think that physical books will live on well into the future. It will be interesting to see if the same can be said for newspapers though, since those are a bit more ephemeral, and could much more easily be replaced with their online counterparts.
