▶ Your Answer : Although the Internet has pros and cons, I totally agree with the statement that nowadays, students can study more effectively with the Internet. First of all, there is almost no limit in finding study materials in the Internet. Most universities and governments in the world open and share their resources through the Internet, so that students can find resources of nearly every subject at any time without spending time to go to a library and look for the books they want. For example, when I was a freshman in university, I took a course called History of Music. The professor assigned us to write a paper about Indian folk songs. Since I had no knowledge about the music, I found a lot of video and reading materials about Indian music on the Internet. Thanks to the help of the Internet, I could understand the subject and submit the paper in time. If it was not for the Internet, I would have had difficulty in finding appropriate resources and writing the paper whenever I have to research. Therefore, the Internet can be more effectively way for students to study. On top of that, students can study easily through online courses. Since the Internet is developed, many online courses became available all over the world, and the quality and amount of online courses are increasingly great. As a result, students can study at the comfort of their houses without any limitation of time and place. On the other hand, before the Internet came out, there was the limitation of learning; people who want to study had to go to school or academy, the number of teachers and schools could be not sufficient to support all students, and the school hours were not long enough to teach busy people such as workers. A survey has proved this point. Nowadays, the number of officers who are taking online courses to achieve their goals is increasing every year. They said the reason is that it is more convenient to study online courses than go to school at night after work. Thus, the Internet is helping people to study efficiently. To summarize, I firmly believe that the Internet provides students with a huge amount of helpful resources and the opportunity to study at any time and anywhere. |
