2013年3月2日雅思作文题目：Universities and colleges are now offering qualifications through distance learning from the Internet rather than teachers in the classroom. Do you think the advantages of this development overweight the disadvantages? 远程教育是否利大于弊?

范文1：

A man without an education, many of us believe, is an unfortunate victim of adverse circumstances, deprived of one of the greatest opportunities. The contrivance of the Internet has greatly revolutionized mode of education. People have been debating for years of the pros and cons of distance learning without reaching any definite agreement. Personally, tele-education does diversify people’s option of acquiring knowledge and enjoy some merits, yet, the benefits are dwarfed by the troubles it brings along.

我们许多人都相信，一个没有受过教育的人，是逆境的牺牲品，被剥夺了最优越的机会之一。互联网的发明深刻改变了教育的方式，许久以来，人们一直在争议远程学习的利弊没有达成共识。我认为，远程教育使得人们学习知识的选择多元化有其利好，但是其带来的弊端更加明显。

Seen from the positive aspects, some virtues could be gained via on-line education. First，distance education reduces the need of the presence of teachers, however, widely popularizes exceptional educational resources. More precisely, one can avail himself of rich on-line courses as long as he gets enrolled in the university. Meanwhile, audio and video files can be constantly repeated. Besides, on-line education not only saves the trouble of commuting but also provides flexible way of learning. In this sense, it is especially suitable for special learning group, sick students, disabled self-learners and occupied employees could serve as good examples.

从积极的角度看，网络学习有其独有的利好。第一，远程教育减少了老师存在，然而，使得优秀的教育资源得以广泛的普及。换言之，只要注册了网校，学习者就可以利用丰富的网络资源，自由学习，而且课件可以反复使用。第二，网络教育不仅仅节省了时间成本，而且提供了灵活的学习方式。因此，尤其适合特殊的学习群体例如生病的学生，残疾的学习者以及繁忙的企业职员。

Problems, however, inevitably ensue. Initially, it is highly possible that some young computer learners might fail to excel academically due to the fact that they either indulge in on-line games or are distracted by on-line chat room. This is especially true for those who lack self-disincline. Without the ideal atmosphere created by conventional teaching, plenteous learners might end up losing zeal in learning and becoming lazybones. Also, individual learning experience might make young adults become socially inadequate, even isolated and inferior. The Internet might enact the role of facilitating teaching, yet, only educators could enlighten wisdom, kindle study interest and care for spiritual growth. Eventually，the popularity of distance education is a challenge for learners in those poverty-stricken villages or remote rural areas. Traditional classroom education is, virtually, indispensable for those who lack basic skills of computer.

然而，网络教育的问题随着而来。第一，孩子们可能因为沉迷于网络游戏和网络聊天而耽误学习，尤其是对于没有自律性的孩子们来说，没有课堂教育的学习氛围，很多学习者会失去学习的动力，变得懈怠以及懒散。第二，个体性的学习经历会使得孩子们变得社交方面力不从心，性格上比较孤独和自卑，网络也许可以很好地扮演知识传播者的角色，但是只有教育者才能启迪人的智慧，激发人的学习兴趣以及关注人的精神成长股。第三，网络教育的普及也受很多到技术的限制，在很多的贫困或者偏远地区，学生们缺乏必要的电脑技能，因此传统教师的作用不可替代。

I re-affirm my conviction that online education is only the supplementary tool of conventional education, students ought to receive traditional classroom education。

我再次重申我的立场，网络教育仅仅是传统教育的补充工具，学生们还是应该接受传统的课程教育.
