Task 2: Responding to Survey Questions (Sample Responses)
Read the following information.
Online vs. Print News Survey
Your local newspaper is experiencing low sales of its newspapers since many readers are now choosing the online version. Its current number of online subscribers is now three times the number of print subscribers. The newspaper has sent a survey to all of its print and online subscribers to see whether there is enough demand to keep the print version.
Choose the option that you prefer. Explain the reasons for your choice. Why do you prefer your choice? Write about 150-200 words.
• Option A: Stop producing the print version of the newspaper.
• Option B: Keep producing both the print and online versions.
CELPIP 10-12 RESPONSE
I would recommend that the local newspaper continues to keep producing both the print and online versions.
I recognize that particular individuals are pushing a shift towards media being exclusively online but doing this will undoubtedly leave some readers unhappy.
I enjoy having the physical printed newspaper to read. I spend enough time each day on a computer as it is. Reading the newspaper is a time for me to relax and get away from the online and electronic world.
There are certainly times when the online issue has been beneficial, like being able to access the local news while in a foreign country but for the most part, I prefer the experience of reading a print version.
I also believe that within our community, there is a large number of elderly residents who actively buy the print version and have been doing so for year. Many do not have access to a computer. If you stop producing the print version, you are instantly cutting this group of people form your readers.
