Many people use distance-learning programmes (study material, post, TV, the Internet, etc.) to study at home, but some people think that it cannot bring the same benefits of attending college or university. To what extend do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS HAVE AN IMPACT ON ALL FIELDS OF OUR LIVES. BASED ON

THIS

FACT, WHILE SOME ARGUED THAT DISTANCE-LEARNING PROGRAMMES CAN PROVIDE THE SAME BENEFITS AS TRADITIONAL EDUCATION, OTHERS BELIEVE THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE.

THIS

ESSAY WILL EXPLAIN WHY DISTANCE-LEARNING PROGRAMMES CAN NEVER HELP

STUDENTS

AS TRADITIONAL ONES.

FIRST

AND FOREMOST, UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES SHOULD BE TAUGHT AS A FULL OF EXPERIENCE

PEOPLE

AND

THIS

HELPS

STUDENTS

TO IMPROVE THEIR VISION. TO AN EXTENT, ACCORDING TO A RESEARCH, THE MOST OF INVENTORS WERE IMPRESSED BY A PROFESSOR THROUGHOUT THEIR EDUCATION LIFE. IT MEANS THAT IF THEY HAD NOT GONE TO A UNIVERSITY, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE MADE THEIR INVENTIONS.

WANT TO LEARN HOW THEY CAN EAT IN BALANCE, THEY CAN LOSE THEIR WAY ON THE INTERNET, BECAUSE OF INFORMATION POLLUTION. THERE ARE TONS OF VIDEOS, ARTICLES AND RESEARCH ON THEM. WITHOUT AN EXPERT HELP, FINDING THE TRUTH IS QUITE HARD AND A WASTE OF TIME. BUT WITH AN EXPERT HELP, THEY CAN KNOW HOW THEY SHOULD DO THEIR RESEARCH AND WHERE THEY SHOULD BEGIN. IT HELPS

PEOPLE

TO SAVE THEIR TIME AND MIND. TO SUM UP, UNIVERSITIES PROVIDE

STUDENTS

TO BE SURROUNDED BY EDUCATED

PEOPLE

WHO MAY PROVIDE BOTH GUIDANCE AND INSPIRATION. UNDER THESE FACTS, LEARNING AT HOME CAN NEVER BE THE SAME AS GOING TO A BUILDING WHICH IS A FULL OF VISIONER
