Task：Some people think that the library is a waste of money and the computer technology is replacing its function. To what extent do you agree or disagree?有人认为图书馆就是浪费钱，电脑技术正取代它的功能，你在多大程度上同意或者不同意?
Sample answer：
In many universities and cities the library is an important building,
providing a place for people to read, study and gain information. However,
some people claim that it a waste of money maintaining the library in an
era when the Internet is accessible to all. However，I believe that some
of the library's functions cannot be substituted.
There is no denying that the advent of the computer and the Internet has
made it possible for people to access information conveniently at home
and in the office. In comparison the construction and maintenance of the
library need to cost more money and the storage of paper books means that
a large quantity of wood resources would be consumed for paper making,
which may have adverse impacts on the environment.
Despite the above-mentioned drawbacks, I still think that the library
plays an irreplaceable role in the modern society. The library is an ideal
place for people to enjoy reading, acquire knowledge and participate in
cultural activities. The atmosphere of the library encourages people to
read and for those who love reading ,the experience of sitting in the
library is different from browsing web pages at home. Also, in many cities
the library has become a landmark， representing the cultural identity
of the city.
Overall, although the role of the library is challenged by the information
technology, it does not mean that the library has lost its value.
Considering the price of maintaining the library, it is advisable for the
library to cut down the collection of paper books and introduce more
electronic books.
