Many people join distance-learning programmes (study material, post, TV, Internet) and study at home, but some people think that it cannot bring the same benefit as attending colleges or universities does. To what extent do you agree with this opinion?

Thanks to advancements in digital technology, distance

education

has been realized for the majority of people. Some claim

this

mode of study is by no means comparable to college. Personally, I tend to agree with

this

idea that online learning, merely a supplement to universities, is not as beneficial as them. It is undeniable that distance-learning programs have revolutionized the way of study. The most distinctive one is that online courses make study more accessible and convenient, as anyone having access to TV or the Internet can watch lectures and tutorials, and download useful materials for the acquisition of knowledge without leaving home, saving a vast amount of time to commute.

However

, online

education

cannot be considered as the primary means of

education

equivalent to a college. The main reason is that university

education

is not confined to knowledge delivery, which is what distance learning aims at. But

instead

Add a comma

it provides ethical

education

, and social and physical activities in order to cultivate well-rounded talented individuals who are not only intelligent but

also

versatile and healthy with positive attitudes towards society. All these can never be attained by simply taking courses online at home, which only serves as a complementary source of learning.

In addition

, studying in front of screens can be quite impersonal and can lead to a lack of adequate interactions. If a student has some questions in mind, they are unlikely to obtain immediate feedback from the lecturer, which can result in poor productivity of learning.

However

this

can be substantially averted by physically attending a class, where instructors are even able to modify their teaching styles to best suit the characteristics of students. In conclusion, online learning can be an innovative and useful approach, due to its limitation and lack of communication, and

therefore

this

home-based learning still cannot match college

education

There is a lot of pressure on young people today to succeed academically. As a result, some people believe that non-academic subjects, such as physical education and cookery, should be removed from the school syllabus so that children can concentrate on academic work. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Research has shown that academic success is the centre of the young world. Thus, students are forced to focus on subjects which are part of their future studies, like physics and maths, if they want to have a perfect future career. Nevertheless, besides these subjects, there are also others, non-academic, that consist a part of their school schedule. Many people believe that schools must remove those lessons because in this way children will concentrate more easily in their academic future. Obviously, I am opposed to that idea for a lot of reasons.

Every year several languages die out. Some people think that this is not important because life will be easier if there are fewer languages in the world.
Language was created by humans to communicate with others in the same area, so there are various languages around the world to be used in different overseas.
