1. Choose a book and then introduce it to us.
2.What are the differences between e-books and books in print? Do you think that e-book will ever replace books in print?
Presentation
Example
In my opinion, e-books will eventually replace printed books. E-books have many advantages over printed books. First of all, they are much easier to carry. We can take many of our favourite books on a CD-ROM when travelling, while even one printed book may add to much weight to our suitcase. Besides, reading becomes easier with e-books as we can set the point size of text to what is most comfortable for us. In addition, storing e-books is much easier. You may put all the books in your bookcase in just one CD and you don’t have to worry that humidity may destroy the books. Of course, it may be quite a long time before e-books replace printed books.
