Online education is becoming increasingly popular. Many students are choosing to study online instead of face-to face education. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this new approach?

As the development of technology grows rapidly over the past few years, studying online is undeniably a familiar topic for
students
 to discuss. There are opinions that online courses benefit
students
 a lot,
while
 the alternatives are opposed to that idea. In
this
 essay, I will take both views into consideration and give the reason why I think online studying brings more benefits than drawbacks. On one hand, studying online can be seen as harmful

. First and foremost, it is said to make

 minds other than their lessons.
Moreover
, learning online means that
students
 can do their own things without the knowledge of their teachers. They might pay more attention to eating or divide their minds to do many tasks at a
time
. Another thing is that teachers can not confirm their

 the lecture they gave previously. They might speak too fast and not realize it which makes it impossible for their pupils to catch up with the lesson. If these phenomena go on for a long
time
,
students
 would not have a clear grasp of their learning.
On the other hand
, online lecturing can give
students
 a lot of advantages. First of all, studying online can help them be more independent. Their timetable will be more flexible since they are not under

In addition
, by studying online, they could discover more knowledge fields. At school, the course schedules are created with a certain number of subjects and that will stop the

 ones.
For example

students
 can learn to play musical instruments or other subjects that are not available in their curriculum.
This
 will widen their knowledge about different varieties of aspects and will help them a lot when they graduate from school. In conclusion, online education brings both advantages and disadvantages,
however
, I am of the opinion that its pros have outweighed its cons.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
