Will people stop going to the library?

[Tarheel]

I knew that.

 

[Anna232]

I knew that.

So hopefully the last version is correct. But I still think that there is an element of truth in "in terms of maintaining eye health libraries are convenient that online books" because I go there to read paper books and it won't hurt my eyes.
I mean this part: "Libraries are convenient in terms of maintaining eye health" which is nonsensical."

"in terms of maintaining eye health libraries are convenient that online books"

That's not grammatical.

 

[Anna232]

That's not grammatical.

I should use this version. Right? I can't use "convenient".

"I think people will never stop going to libraries because people love them for their atmosphere and in terms of maintaining eye health they are much better than online books."

What exactly were you asked to write, a single paragraph or an essay? If it's an essay, then tell us which test you're practising for.

I use ESL questions and various prompts for essays. I don't remember the essay prompt word for word but I think the question was "Will people stop going to libraries and use online books instead? "

Is this correct? "I think people will never stop going to libraries because people love them for their atmosphere and in terms of maintaining eye health they are much better than online books."

I think I did a word for word translation of my thoughts.

"I think people will never stop going to libraries because people love them for their atmosphere and convenience in terms of processing information and maintaining eye health."

I am posting a better version as you previously requested:

"I think people will never stop going to libraries because people love them for their atmosphere and in terms getting information and maintaining eye health they are much better than online books."

No. See my comments above. People don't go to libraries for "eye health maintenance".

That's not how you're supposed to structure an essay!

I am posting a better version as you previously requested:

You didn't say which test you're practising for. If you want that sentence to be the concluding part of a paragraph, try:

"I think people will never stop going to libraries because people love them for their libraries offer a unique atmosphere that is conducive to reading and learning, and in terms getting information and maintaining eye health they are much better than unlike the online environment which lacks these qualities". books."

 

[Anna232]

No. See my comments above. People don't go to libraries for "eye health maintenance".

You didn't say which test you're practising for. If you want that sentence to be the concluding part of a paragraph, try:

I am sorry. I can't find it. I usually use different prompts.

I didn't ask for the prompt. I asked you to tell us which test (e.g. IELTS, TOEFL, CAE) you might be practising for.

 

[emsr2d2]

You can say that reading physical books is better for your eyes than reading digital books but that has nothing to do with the use of libraries.

To be honest, it's a somewhat bizarre essay prompt. I would have expected one of these:

Will people stop reading physical books and switch to e-books only?
Will people stop using libraries and simply buy books instead?

 

[Anna232]

I didn't ask for the prompt. I asked you to tell us which test (e.g. IELTS, TOEFL, CAE) you might be practising for.

No, I am not practising for either of these tests. By the way, is the phrase I used in the previous promts to state the purpose of my essay "In this essay I will talk about the use of" not recommended in the exams you mentioned? The structure of English essays is different in the local tests. It is much simpler.

When will you install an English spell-checker?

Indeed. Generally speaking, you should avoid speaking in the first person in such essays.

 

[Anna232]

When will you install an English spell-checker?

I do apologize. It won't let me install it.

 

[emsr2d2]

I do apologize. It won't let me install it.

In that case, it's even more important for you to read your texts at least twice before posting, and again afterwards. At least you now know the correct spelling of "prompt".

In future, please make sure you copy the prompt exactly and tell us what it is in post #1.

What won't let you install one, your browser or text editor or something else?

My phone. I think it doesn't support new apps.

Don't you have a computer/laptop? This forum is much easier to use that way.
If you have just a phone, please tell us what operating system it uses and which browser you're using. We might be able to find a way to help.
