Your local newspaper is experiencing low sales of its newspapers since many readers are now

do you prefer your choice? Write about 150-200 words.

Level 4-5 responce

I would like to say to keep print version and also develop the online version because both of them
have supporter. 

Nowadays, with the development of internet. Surf the net became a lifestyle in our daily life. The
online version for the newspaper can provide the most convenience way for us to get the new
information about the world. We can get the news everywhere with our laptop, iPad. The most
important thing is it can protect the environment save more tree, reduce the waste. This online
version obviously will be a trend of the lifestyle in the future. 

Although the online version have many advantage, but as a company they take care of every
person in the society. We still have many old person who unable to use the computer or other
eletronic devices. But they still need to get information from the world. We can not regardless of
them. They have right to get the news. 

I will suggest that to control the weight between print version and online version to let everyone
to choose their lifestyle.
Level 7-8 responce

News paper is one of the oldest source of information in the world. But nowadays many online
version are available in the market that are the good alternative source of information. so we
have to stop the producing print media? According to my opinion we should stop producing print
version. Print version have many disadvantages as compare to online version That disadvantages i
am going to explain in the following. 

First of all it is not good for the environment every one knows every year many trees cut down to
produce paper. If we stop producing print media then we can save that tree and save wild life. 

Secondly, it save the manufacturing cost and transportation cost. For example every morning news
paper travels from its manufacturing place to our door step and manufacturer spend much money
for this So if stop producing print media can save these cost. And manufacture can this money for
other creative work. 

Finally i strongly prefer to stop print version and prefer online version because it have more
advantages than print version.

Level 10-12 responce

I would recommend that the local newspaper continues to keep producing both the print and
online versions. 

I recognize that particular individuals are pushing a shift towards media being exclusively online
but doing this will undoubtedly leave some readers unhappy. 

I enjoy having the physical printed newspaper to read. I spend enough time each day on a
computer as it is. Reading the newspaper is a time for me to relax and get away from the online
and electronic world. 
There are certainly times when the online issue has been beneficial, like being able to access the
local news while in a foreign country but for the most part, I prefer the experience of reading a
print version. 

I also believe that within our community, there is a large number of elderly residents who actively
buy the print version and have been doing so for year. Many do not have access to a computer. If
you stop producing the print version, you are instantly cutting this group of people form your
readers.
