Question B
Some people are opposed to the idea that e-books are the greener choice than conventional books because [ producing tablets and maintaining online platforms require ] a lot of resources, worsening global climate change.
Question C
I don’t think it is a good idea to replace paper schoolbooks with online e-books for environmental reasons. I have some reasons. First, e-books are not so environmentally friendly as people may think because you need a tablet to read e-books and a lot of resources and energy are required to make the device. Second, using e-books in class is not an effective way for students to learn something. It is easier for them to learn and memorize something if they read paper textbooks and take notes on them. Thus, I think we should not replace paper schoolbooks with e-books. (100 words)
