写作
第一节:
One possible version:
Recently our class had a discussion about whether e-books will replace printed books. Our opinions are divided.
Some students think this will happen, because e-books have a larger capacity and they’re easier to carry. What’s more, they help to cut paper use. However, others disagree. They think, compared with e-books, printed books do little harm to our eyes. Besides, they have a higher value for those who like to collect.
In my opinion, printed books won’t be replaced by e-books because they’re a better way to preserve human culture.
