I agree that walking is good for one’s health. I have several reasons for this.
First, it reduces the risk of diseases. Some examples are heart attack, stroke, and high blood pressure.
Second, some studies say that physical exercise can reduce stress. This helps us sleep better and be in a good mood.

PART D_8
I agree that digital books are more useful to read than paper books. I have several reasons for this. 
Firstly, digital books are portable. You don’t need to carry heavy books every time. By only bringing one digital device, you can read many books anywhere.
Secondly, you can download digital books anytime. You don’t need to go to the bookstore to buy them. When you need a new book, you can just download one from the internet.
So, I think that digital books are more useful.

PART D_14
I disagree that digital books are more useful to read than paper ones.
One reason is that you need electricity when you read digital books. If you run out of battery, you can’t read any books even though you carry the device.
Another reason is that paper books can be lent and borrowed. So you can easily share them with friends and family. If you lend digital books, you have to hand over your device.
So, I think that paper books are more useful.
