【参考范文】
With mobile phones widely used in our daily lives, various Apps emerge. Reading has therefore become more convenient. However, different people hold different views toward online reading.
As far as I am concerned, I prefer online reading to paper reading, for online reading provides us with both convenience and rich contents. On one hand, it is very convenient to do online reading. We can read at anytime anywhere. What we need to do is just to open the Apps and choose what we want to read. On the other, the scope of reading online is vastly broad for us to select topics. Reading online can help us switch from monotonous reading materials to funny cartoons or essays with beautiful words when the reading materials are too boring to continue. During the switch, the brain gets enough breaks to go on with the hard materials.
In short, I like online reading more than paper reading.

随着手机在我们日常生活中的广泛应用,各种App应运而生。阅读因此也变得更加方便。但是,不同的人对在线阅读持有不同的看法。
就我而言,比起纸质阅读,我更喜欢在线阅读,因为在线阅读既能带给我们方便又有着丰富的内容。一方面,在线阅读很方便。任何时间任何地点,我们都可以阅读。我们需要做的就是打开App,选择想要读的内容。另一方面,在线阅读的范围很广泛,供我们选择的话题很多。当阅读材料很单调,无法读下去的时候,在线阅读可以帮我们转到有趣的漫画或文字优美的散文阅读中。在这个转换过程中,大脑得到了充分的休息,能够继续难度大的材料阅读。
总之,比起纸质阅读,我更喜欢在线阅读。
