Sample Answer

While both traditional and electronic books have their merits, I find myself gravitating toward traditional books. The tactile experience of flipping through the pages and the distinct aroma of paper evoke a sense of nostalgia that electronic formats cannot replicate. Moreover, traditional books encourage a more profound engagement with the material, as the physicality of the object invites a contemplative reading experience. That said, I do acknowledge the convenience of electronic books, especially for avid readers who travel frequently, as they offer portability and immediate access to vast libraries. However, for me, the sensory pleasure and aesthetic value of a traditional book far outweigh the practicality of its electronic counterpart.
