Zoom in Practise Miłośnicy książek mogą obecnie wybierać między tradycyjnymi publikacjami w formie papierowej a książkami elektronicznymi (ebooki), które ostatnio cieszą się coraz większą popularnością. Napisz rozprawkę na temat tego zjawiska, uwzględniając zarówno argumenty dotyczące przyjemności z czytania, jak i kwestii praktycznych. MODEL ANSWER Nowadays, many people are giving up paper books and switching to e-books. I strongly believe, however, that nothing can replace the ‘old-fashioned’ form of reading. To start with, reading a paper book is a much more pleasant experience, especially when it comes to some of the gorgeous editions of certain classic works of literature with their beautiful covers and illustrations. Not only can you follow the print, but you can also flick through the pages and feel and smell the paper. As a result, you become more engrossed in the process of reading. Additionally, contrary to general opinion, paper books might actually be more practical than their digital equivalents. Although e-books are relatively cheap, you need expensive equipment to access them, which is not available to everyone. For example, when you take a book to the beach, it is much easier to put it down and go swimming than is the case with an expensive e-reader. Besides, printed books require no battery charging. Despite traditional books’ numerous advantages, thanks to e-books, it’s now possible to carry an entire digital library in your pocket and adjust the size of the print or the layout of the pages. Still, wider access to books on an e-reader will not automatically turn someone into a bookworm. All in all, in my opinion, interacting with digital books will not replace the sensual satisfaction of reading a paper book – which does not need to be charged and which may be safely left in your backpack. 3 Match the highlighted phrases from the model essay with the headings below. • Expressing one’s opinion: In my view, It seems to me that, To my mind, __, __ • Introducing the first argument: Firstly, To begin with, First of all, __ • Adding points: Secondly, Also, Furthermore, __, __ • Concluding: In conclusion, To sum up, All things considered, __ Which of the above phrases are NOT followed by a comma? Gdy piszesz rozprawkę, której celem jest wyrażenie opinii na jakiś temat, skorzystaj z poniższego ramowego planu: Wstęp: Przedstaw swoją opinię na temat przedstawiony w poleceniu. Rozwinięcie (akapity 1 i 2): Uzasadnij swój punkt widzenia w odniesieniu do obu aspektów polecenia (w modelowym eseju: przyjemność z czytania i kwestie praktyczne). Akapit 3 (opcjonalnie): Przedstaw punkt widzenia odmienny od twojego. Zakończenie: Podsumuj argumentację i odnieś się do opinii przedstawionej we wstępie.
