　　Introduction:

　　开头段我们需要适当给出背景，改写题目，并给出自己的观点。

　　The Internet is beginning to rival newspapers as the best place to find information about what is happening in the world. I disagree with the view that newspapers will continue to be the main source of news, because I believe that the Internet will soon be equally important.

　　互联网正开始与报纸竞争，成为查找世界上正在发生的事情的信息的最佳场所。我不同意报纸将继续是新闻的主要来源的观点，因为我相信互联网很快也会同样重要。

　　Body 1:

　　On the one hand, I believe that newspapers will continue to be a vital source of information, even in the Internet age. Firstly, newspapers are the most traditional means of communicating the news, and not everyone wants to or is able to use the Internet instead. For example, old people or those in rural areas might not have the ability or opportunity to get online, while many of us simply prefer newspapers even if we do have Internet access. Secondly, newspapers can be trusted as reliable sources of news because they employ professional journalists and editors. Finally, many people like the experience of holding and reading a paper rather than looking at a computer screen.

　　一方面，我相信报纸将继续是一个重要的信息来源，即使在互联网时代。首先，报纸是最传统的传播新闻的方式，并不是每个人都想或能够使用互联网代替。例如，老年人或农村地区的人可能没有能力或机会上网，而我们中的许多人只是更喜欢报纸，即使我们有互联网接入。其次，报纸可以被信任为可靠的新闻来源，因为他们雇佣专业的记者和编辑。最后，许多人喜欢拿着报纸阅读的体验，而不是看着电脑屏幕。

　　Body 2:

　　However, the Internet is likely to become just as popular as newspapers for a variety of reasons. The main reason is that it allows us much faster access to news in real time and wherever we are, on different gadgets and mobile devices. Another key benefit of online news compared to newspapers is the ability to share articles, discuss them with other people, give our views, and even contribute with our own updates on social media. For example, there has been an explosion in the use of platforms like Twitter and YouTube where anyone can share their news and views. A final point is that this source of news is less damaging to the environment.

　　然而，由于种种原因，互联网可能会变得像报纸一样受欢迎。最主要的原因是它能让我们更快地在不同的设备和移动设备上实时获取新闻，无论我们身在何处。与报纸相比，在线新闻的另一个关键好处是能够与他人分享文章、讨论文章、发表我们的观点，甚至在社交媒体上发表我们自己的更新。例如，Twitter和YouTube等平台的使用出现爆炸式增长，任何人都可以在这些平台上分享自己的新闻和观点。最后一点是，这种新闻来源对环境的危害较小。

　　Conclusion:

　　In conclusion, my view is that the Internet will soon be just as important as the traditional press.

　　总之，我的观点是，互联网将很快和传统媒体一样重要。
