Students are becoming more and more reliant on the Internet. While the Internet is convenient, it has many negative effects and its use for educational purposes should be restricted. How far do you agree with this statement?
Nowadays, the
Internet
is used widely in education around the world. Some people say it is beneficial for teaching and learning because there is so much information
available. However
, others claim that the Internet
is bad for students
' research
skills and believe that its use
should be restricted. I believe that the use
of the Internet
should be limited in some ways, but it is still a valuable educational tool.
Firstly
, the Internet
is essential for many people today. It is widely used in the workplace and people's everyday lives, both for finding information
, for personal finance, for keeping in touch with friends and family, for social networking and so on. Therefore
, school students
should learn how to use
it correctly. In addition
, students
also
need it for research
in school and university subjects. Nowadays the most up-to-date information
can be found on the Internet
, rather than in books which can become out of date very quickly. Using the Internet
is a convenient way of finding out information
and developing independent research
skills.
However
, the Internet
has some negative aspects. For example
, not all websites are reliable or contain accurate information
. Students
need to learn how to evaluate and check the material they find on the Internet
. Also
, many students
simply copy large amounts of material, such
as essays from the Internet
. Some students
then
pretend that this
material is their own work, which is illegal. If students
simply copy information
or material from the Internet
without understanding or analysing it, they will not learn it fully. Teachers need to teach students
how to research
and use
information
from the Internet
properly.
In conclusion, schools and universities should teach students
how to use
the Internet
by teaching them good research
skills. If students
know how to use
the Internet
effectively, they are likely to become better students
and have better employment opportunities in the future.Submitted by doannguyenhadan on
