Эссе ЕГЭ по английскому на тему «Чтение: книги и электронные книги» — пример на 14 баллов

Reading habits have changed a great deal in the digital age. I am doing a project on how teenagers in my region prefer to read, and I have found the results of a survey presented in the pie chart below. According to the chart, the response "E-books on a phone" (38%) ranks ahead of the other options, closely followed by "Paper books" (30%). Unfortunately, the response "Don't read for pleasure" still accounts for 12% of the answers. Looking more closely at the figures, one can note that "E-books on a phone" is only slightly more popular than "Paper books", as the difference between these two responses is just 8 percentage points. This is quite understandable, given that a phone is always at hand, yet many teenagers still enjoy the feel of a real book. However, this shift to screens can cause a problem. Reading on a phone makes it easy to get distracted by messages and notifications, so teenagers may finish fewer books. One way of solving this is to use a separate e-reader without social apps, which helps readers concentrate. In my opinion, the format matters less than the habit itself, because what counts is how much we read, not what we read it on. Personally, I enjoy paper books as they do not tire my eyes, but I also listen to audiobooks on my way to school. To sum up, the data shows that teenagers are still reading, just in new ways.
