C2 Proficiency: Part 1 (Compulsory Question)
Read the two texts below. Write an essay summarising and evaluating the key points from both texts. Use your own words throughout and include your own ideas.
1. The Enduring Power of the Printed Word
Despite the digital revolution, the physical book remains a cornerstone of culture. The tactile experience and lack of distractions allow for "deep reading," a state of focus that tablets cannot replicate.
2. The Efficiency of Digital Literacy
Information is now more accessible than ever. The ability to search, cross-reference, and carry thousands of texts in one's pocket represents a monumental leap in human efficiency and educational equity.
Target: 240 – 280 words.
