Essay IELTS
I would appreciate it if I could have your comments on my essay.
Fewer people are reading books these days. Therefore we should close all libraries and use the funds for something more urgent like healthcare. Do you agree or disagree?
Once I was walking past a derelict building which used to serve as a library. Not far away, another dilapidated one stood waiting to be demolished so that a hospital or school building could be erected, as the locals told me there. I wished policy makers had paid more attention to the role of libraries before making such decisions.
To start with, libraries can be a bridge between the information-rich and the information-poor. Many people throughout the world, especially the indigent ones, still rely on libraries as their primary source of information and education. Not only do they use a large number of books at libraries, but also use the internet provided by the same places. Furthermore, the fewer number of libraries means discouraging people who are eager to read and study but do not find a calm and peaceful place to do so. For instance, there used to be a small library in my neighborhood which some people, even the elderly, attended regularly. But after its closure the majority of the members did not bother with taking longer journeys for another library.
That said, it should also be admitted that in deprived areas whose population is in dire need of more urgent matters such as wide-ranging healthcare and schools, libraries could be of second priority. It is no exaggeration to say that such deprivations may well dampen the enthusiasm and a fertile ground for reading books, let alone visiting a local library. For example, in the Sistan and Baluchestan Province, Iran, there are areas that students have to travel more than two hours to get to their, if can be called, schools, or people who have to go to the larger cities for medical treatments.
To sum up, it is in advisable to close all libraries for no good reason. As long as such service is provided, a more promising future could be envisaged for ordinary people in general, and for the educated in particular.
