Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work.Every evening my mother
looks through magazines at home.And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David
Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep.Can we imagine life without
paper or print?
Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago，and has been made from silk，cotton，bamboo
and since the 19th century from wood.People learned to write words on paper to make a book.But
in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand.As a result, they were
expensive and rare.And because there weren't many books, few people learned to read.
Then printing was invented in China.When printing was developed greatly at the beginning
of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply.As a result, more people
learned to read.After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly.
Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in
books, and information can be kept on CDROMs or machines such as MP3 players.
Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be
read online.So will books be replaced by computers one day? No, I don't think the Yao Ming
poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two metres high!

参考范文：
Dear_Editor
，
I am writing to tell you about the survey I've made on “Using paper cards or ecards？” in
our class.
About 30% of the students want to use paper cards.First of all, they are made by hand and
they can express/show people's real feelings.Second, they are easy to take and can be kept for
long.Third, people can read them without computers.
However, around 70% of the students prefer to use ecards.For one thing, ecards can carry lots
of information and people can send them quickly.For another thing, using ecards can save paper so
that our environment can be protected well.What's more, people can make various designs they
like.
In my opinion, we should try our best to use ecards.They can not only pass our love quickly
and conveniently but also protect our earth.
Yours_sincerely
，
Wang_Qiang
