University lecturers are now able to put their lectures on the internet for students to read and so the importance of attending face-to-face lec- tures has been reduced. Do you believe that the use of the internet in formal education is a good idea?

The
Internet
 has become inevitable in accessing information and communication in today's world. It is applied in almost all the aspects of life
hence
 education is not an exception. University lecturers have started uploading lectures on World Wide Web.
According to
 me, it is a welcome step
however
, it does not seem to serve the genuine purpose of classroom education Usage of the
Internet
 cannot be advantageous for a majority of
students
 in many ways.
Firstly
, the
Internet
 is a one-way communication.
Thus
, it creates a passive type of learning atmosphere and science has already proved that passive learning cannot yield fruitful results.
Furthermore
, studying lectures on the
Internet
 cannot give the charm of a classroom environment where a lecturer can solve the difficulties of
students
 and increase their level of understanding. Eventually, the
Internet
 requires computers and electricity which can be expensive for many
students
.
In addition
 to
this
, the system itself offers some drawbacks i.e. sitting against the computer screen for longer hours is not good for our eyes and back.
Next,
it is only a visual media that ends up making the study mechanical and stereotypical.
Consequently
, it reduces the student's interest in the study.
On the other hand
, learning lectures on
Internet
 offers some advantages. Learners can be attended to and viewed by so many people who cannot come physically to the classroom ,
for example
: disabled
students
, working professionals and foreign aspirants.
Moreover
, it provides convenience; they can study at their ease and can use navigational tools on the computer to browse through the whole document.
Therefore
, it may save time for going to the university.
To conclude
, I believe that the
Internet
 is useful in many ways. It may be used extensively in future.
However
, it is certainly not the best way of imparting education as it has more drawbacks than benefits.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
