1. eBooks. Reading and writing

6th grade.

In this post the students will read this text and answer some questions. Then they will have to think of at least four reasons to persuade us why we should read an eBook. They will write their four reasons giving a short but clear explanation

E-BOOKS

If you love reading, then you must try out ebooks.

Reading is one of the greatest passions in this world, and is a very healthy one indeed. We like to read books during our leisure, while travelling and even before sleeping. Irrespective of whether you are a voracious reader or a casual one, books are very likely an indispensable friend that you have in your life. 

Some books are just too heavy to be carried around. The problem becomes bigger when you have to carry multiple books around. While travelling, this increases the weight of your luggage and you may often be forced to abandon certain books to stay within the permissible weight limit. Storing these books also requires you to buy bookshelves which occupy space in your house which you could have otherwise utilized for other purposes.

Nowadays, all these problems get solved if you switch to eBooks. These are books which are available in electronic format. I use eBooks extensively for the sheer convenience that they offer. While many classical booklovers  argue that eBooks can never replace the thrill of turning the leaves of a real book, I find these to be quite handy. I can easily download an eBook of my choice into my computer, laptop or a mobile device and read it anywhere, whenever I want to. An eBook has a table of contents and pictures and graphics that gives me the feel of a real book.

 

Please answer the following questions: 

 

  • Why you should try out eBooks?

  • When would you use eBooks?

  •  Where can you download an eBook?

     

Now write three reasons, that have not been mentioned, why everybody should choose an eBook. Please write a short explanation of each reason.
