Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is better to use printed materials such as books and articles to do research than it is to use the Internet. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; text-align:justify;line-height:20.4pt">class="it">it class="is">is critically important class="that">that students use the best available resources class="when">when they class="do">do class="research">research. In class="my">my opinion, class="it">it class="is">is far better to use printed materials class="than">than online sources. I feel this way for class="two">two reasons, class="which">which I will explore in the following essay.
class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; text-align:justify;line-height:20.4pt"> To begin with, printed materials class="such">such as books and articles are more reliable class="than">than websites. this class="is">is because websites class="can">can be edited by anyone in the world, regardless of whether or not they are qualified academics. As a result of this, even articles in popular online encyclopedias often class="contain">contain class="incorrect">incorrect and biased information. class="my">my own experience demonstrates the danger of relying too heavily on online sources of information. class="two">two semesters ago, I was assigned a class="research">research paper in a freshman history class. I cited data class="that">that I found on Wikipedia class="which">which later turned out to be completely class="incorrect">incorrect. this data was so hopelessly wrong class="that">that class="my">my professor spotted class="it">it immediately, causing me to fail the assignment and receive a fairly low grade in the class at the end of the semester. If I had taken the time to compare what I had read online to a book or a scholarly article I would not have included class="it">it, and would not have received class="such">such a terrible score in the class.
class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; text-align:justify;line-height:20.4pt"> Secondly, books are superior to online articles because they cover topics in much detail. Textbooks are significantly longer class="than">than online articles, so they are more useful to students. students who use them class="when">when doing projects class="can">can also look at the detailed indexes class="which">which they include to focus on very specific topics. For example, class="when">when I wrote an essay last semester in a history class, the very first book class="that">that I consulted contained a long description of the both the underlying causes and long-term effects of the historical event I was writing about. In contrast, most of the online articles class="that">that I consulted contained little more class="than">than superficial facts and dates. I based class="my">my class="research">research on the book rather class="than">than these articles, so I was able to write a very insightful essay.
class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; text-align:justify;line-height:20.4pt"> In conclusion, I strongly believe class="that">that printed information class="is">is more useful class="than">than online resources. this class="is">is because books and printed journals are less likely to be biased or class="contain">contain errors, and because books provide a superior level of detail.

---------------------
Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:
para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.
So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:
reasons == advantages or
reasons == disadvantages
for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
