5. How do you see the future of books? Listen, read and say which point of view you agree with and why.

There are many factors to consider when discussing the matter of ebooks vs. printed books. Enthusiastic fans of printed books say that there's nothing like the smell of paper and the rustle of the pages as the reader turns them gently with their fingers. There is something fascinating about the experience of looking through the whole book and the possibility to see the whole book.

ebook or e-book

On the other hand, those who prefer the ebook often say that the device takes a lot of weight from their shoulders – literally. With the ebook, a reader can take hundreds of books with them on a journey, to school or to work, which only take up a few square centimetres in their bag.

There is one more important factor proving that printed books are still a better choice. A study conducted by Sesame Workshop1 found that children's development is more effective with a printed book rather than with an ebook. Reading a printed book offers a range of opportunities for parents to interact with their children: grown-ups usually talk to children while reading, helping them understand what is read and encouraging them to use language to speak about the text. The research concluded that while ebooks also bring stories and encourage children to interact with add-ons, there is nothing to encourage the child to use language. In fact, the added features can distract (отвлечь) children from reading and understanding the story.

How will the fight of the digital era end? Will ebooks or printed books come out on top?

5. Как вы видите будущее книг? Прослушайте, прочитайте и скажите, с какой точкой зрения вы согласны и почему.

Ответ:

I agree with the point of view that printed books offer a superior experience. The text highlights that there is something fascinating about the physical interaction with a book, such as the smell of paper and the rustle of the pages. More importantly, a study mentioned in the text found that printed books are more effective for children's development. They provide more opportunities for parents to interact with their children while reading, which helps them understand the text and encourages language use, unlike ebooks where added features can be a distraction.

Перевод:

Я согласен с точкой зрения, что печатные книги предлагают лучший опыт. В тексте подчеркивается, что есть что-то увлекательное в физическом взаимодействии с книгой, таком как запах бумаги и шелест страниц. Что еще более важно, упомянутое в тексте исследование показало, что печатные книги более эффективны для развития детей. Они предоставляют больше возможностей для взаимодействия родителей с детьми во время чтения, что помогает им понять текст и способствует использованию языка, в отличие от электронных книг, где дополнительные функции могут отвлекать.
