Answer 1

【答案】With the development of technology, while readers in America have various choices of reading methods, such as e-books and audio books, the print books still have a place among readers, especially the children under 18.

As for me, I stand firmly as a fan of print books. Enjoying a book in print is a far better experience so that I couldn’t imagine missing out such a simple pleasure.

For one thing, there’s nothing quite as satisfying to the brain and the heart as opening a new book for a few hours of entertainment. The scent of the paper and the elegant design of the cover give me a unique pleasure that is not gained from tapping or swiping a screen. For another, we cannot abandon some traditional methods easily in that they still offer us important values. For example, parents still view print books as excellent gifts for kids and a first visit to the library is considered the beginning of the journey into the wonderful world. Besides, we can’t share an e-book, nor can we add it to our cherished bookshelf collection.

Anyway, the experience of reading in print has no substitute even in the digital era.

第三步：根據(jù)提示和關(guān)鍵詞（組）進行遣詞造句，注意主謂一致和時態(tài)問題。
