Sample answer：

When it comes to the issue about whether public libraries deserve to be kept, some people may argue that public libraries should exist since virtual books cannot replace them, but I cannot agree with this opinion.

Admittedly, public libraries may create a better atmosphere of study for individuals than computers do. For people who are not well-motivated and self-disciplined, studying on the Internet may be easily interrupted since there exists more attractive information online, such as scandal and gossip of celebrities. However, when individuals are surrounded with learners who concentrate on their study, they may be also engaged in study better since no one laughs or shout loudly in library usually. Nevertheless, modern technology actually makes traditional libraries obsolete to some degree.

To begin with, computer technology allows users to find what they need more efficiently. In the past, learners have to spend some time on arriving at libraries and they still need some time to pick up the very books they look for. However, current technology transforms books into virtual ones and clients could find the specific books after entering some key words in a search engine. Thus, compared to orthodox libraries, the Internet actually serves to save more time for learners.

In addition, cancelling public libraries, governments could save more money. Running a public library is actually costly since governments need to recruit a lot of employees to guarantee the daily operation. On the contrary, if public libraries are substituted by virtual libraries and database, only a smaller number of employees need to be kept to maintain those electronic devices and the site of public libraries could also be utilized for other purposes, such as establishing shopping malls. Therefore, such economic factors also explain why public libraries do not need to be preserved.

In sum, it is costly to run public libraries and modern technology may function better, considering that searching information on the Internet is faster and running public libraries is expensive.
