Some people may think that purchasing high-tech device will benefit students in many ways. However, I think that the school should spend money on new books for the library. This is because not enough children read books on their free time, and because the overall cost of buying book for a library is less than purchasing computers.

To begin with, few children have enough exposure to books on their spare time. To be specific, children these days spend most of their time playing video games and watching TV, often on computers. Books are conducive to stimulating children’s creativity, strengthening reading ability and vocabulary without mentioning that it is beneficial to their thinking ability. Considering its educational benefit, it is natural for school to purchase books. A recent survey implemented by The Korea education ministry revealed how children spend their time per week. According to the survey, they usually spend time on computers for 20 hours per week. They also have the same hours for cellular phone, and 15 hours for watching TV. On the contrary, the time children read books except for their class material was only 4 hours. This implies how severely children lack the time to read books. Compared to books, children already have enough exposure to electronic devices. In addition to books’ educational effects, in turn, buying books is a better way for children.

On top of that, purchasing books are more cost-effective. In other words, books can be purchased in bulk at very low-rates while the average computer can cost several hundred dollars. Computer is accumulation of high-tech, so it is hard to avoid its expensive price. Furthermore, if school buys computers, then they should take potential costs because computers will generally be outdated after 3years from purchase time. School then has to consider whether they repurchase or update all computers they already bought. Hence, books are much less costly material in comparison to computer if schools take future costs into consideration.

In summary, not only does securing the printed media give children the chance to read book in school, but it can also be a realistic way to reduce overall cost than purchasing electronic device. In this respect, I agree with the statement that purchasing books is much better for school to provide students with good education than buying computers.

Very good, but you must remember, when you say "school" "computer" "book" etc...., you are talking about 1 of each. When we talk about a topic in general, we use plurals to stress "all computers, "all schools, "all books", not just 1. Try to practice using plurals when generalizing.

Thank you.
