ONLINE or IN class?
Онлайн или в классе?
| Many people believe that there won’t be any schools in the future. Instead, students will learn at home with the help of a personal computer and the Internet. | Многие люди считают, что в будущем не будет никаких школ. Вместо них ученики будут учиться дома с использованием персонального компьютера и интернета. | |
| It is true that technology plays a big part in learning today. In many parts of the world, students use personal computers to write their school assignments or keep notes of lectures. What’s more, students go online to look up useful information or do an online course. | Действительно, сегодня технология играет большую роль в образовании. Во многих частях света студенты используют персональные компьютеры, чтобы написать школьные задания или законспектировать лекции. Более того, ученики выходят в интернет, чтобы посмотреть информацию или пройти онлайн-курс. | |
| However, computers will never be able to replace teachers. Teachers motivate their students, help them out with difficult tasks, answer their questions and give clear explanations. Moreover teachers show young children how to behave and act as role models for them. | Однако, компьютеры никогда не смогут заменить учителей. Учителя мотивируют своих учеников, помогают им с трудными заданиями, задают вопросы и дают четкие объяснения. Более того, учителя демонстрируют детям, как надо вести себя, и выступают как образцы для них. | |
| To sum up, technology can help students learn things. Unfortunately, it cannot offer them the inspiration and support that teachers can. | Таким образом, технология может помочь ученикам в изучении различных вещей. К сожалению, она не может предложить им вдохновение и поддержку, что могут сделать учителя. |

More and more people today support the idea of studying from home, instead of actual attendance of schools or universities. It is very convenient, on the one hand. However, the question of online studying as every other topic has its pros and cons. Since the computer was invented, people knew they would be able to do some jobs with the help of it. All the data has been automatically stored in electronic format. It was much easier to keep the information on discs than in huge files. As the Internet was invented, things have become even easier. From now on, people could exchange information in the blink of an eye. Soon it was clear that many things can be done online, for example, instant communication or video chatting. The later was especially handy in terms of studying. There are thousands of courses in numerous disciplines nowadays. It is especially convenient to study foreign languages, economics, biology, history, social science, psychology online. It is also important to mention that there are a few ways to get education from home. One can study with the help of such messengers like skype. In this case, the tutor and student can have video contact. There is also an option to study simply with the help of online notes, i.e. reading e-books and doing online exercises. One of the main assets of distant learning is that people can choose how much time they want to dedicate to it and when. They are also allowed to use various computer programs while doing their home tasks. The disadvantage of e-learning, in my opinion, is the absence of group communication. However, I’m sure this is also being fixed. So, if I was asked to choose the type of studying, I would probably go with the one online.

Все больше людей сегодня высказываются за обучение из дома, вместо привычного посещения училищ или университетов. С одной стороны, это очень удобно. Однако вопрос онлайн обучения, как и любая другая тема, имеет свои плюсы и минусы. С тех пор, как был изобретен компьютер, люди знали, что смогут выполнять кое-какую работу с его помощью. Все данные автоматически переносились в электронный формат. Хранить информацию на дисках оказалось гораздо проще, чем в бесчисленных папках. А с изобретением Интернета все стало еще легче. Теперь люди могли обмениваться информацией в мгновенье ока. Вскоре стало понятно, что многое можно будет делать онлайн, например, мгновенно общаться или вести видео переговоры. Последнее было в особенности удобно в смысле обучения. В настоящее время существуют сотни курсов по различным дисциплинам. Онлайн в особенности удобно изучать иностранные языки, экономику, физику, биологию, историю, обществоведение, психологию. Также, важно отметить, что есть несколько способов онлайн обучения. Кто-то может учиться с помощью таких мессенджеров, как скайп. В таком случае, преподаватель с учеником связаны видео контактом. Есть также возможность обучаться с помощью онлайн материалов, а именно по электронным изданиям, и выполняя онлайн упражнения. Одним из главных плюсов удаленного образования является то, что люди могут выбирать, сколько времени они хотят этому посвятить и когда. Они также могут использовать различные компьютерные программы в выполнении домашнего задания. Минусом онлайн обучения, на мой взгляд, является отсутствие группового общения. Хотя я уверен, что над этим работают. Поэтому, если бы меня спросили, какой вид обучения мне по душе, я бы, скорее всего, выбрал онлайн обучение.

Many people believe that distance learning is far more exciting than going to school. However, many others think that studying at school is better than studying online.
From my point of view, distance learning is more beneficial. Firstly, it is more convenient – you do not need to wear uncomfortable uniform, you can eat whatever and whenever you want and you can take a break anytime. In addition, there is no need in direct contact with your teachers or classmates, so you can stay in comfort, relax and concentrate better.
Nonetheless, many others insist that homeschooling is worse than school learning. Their argument is that attending school is the main way for a teenager to socialize. Also, they consider that when you study at home it is harder to concentrate and stay productive.
I do not fully agree with my opponents. There are many ways for children and teenagers to socialize. For example, it could be some special courses or clubs like art schools or dancing classes. Hobbies are also good for socializing because you can meet people who share your interests. Furthermore, nowadays you can use many apps which can help you to be as concentrated and productive as possible.
But it’s still up to you to decide whether you should go to school or study at home. For some people it is better to take online classes, while others prefer studying at school. As for me, I choose distance learning because it is more comfortable for me and I have enough time to study and entertain.

|
What is your opinion? Do you agree with this statement? |
There are people who consider learning subjects on-line more exciting than at school, whereas others say that getting an education at school is the best way to get an excellent education.
In my opinion, studying at school is the most interesting way to get a good education. First of all, there are a lot of classmates who make the process of education really exciting. For example, when a person studies something in an environment of supportive company the interest increases due to student teamwork. Secondly, the contact between students and teachers is better. For instance, teachers can better see if students learn something or not when they see students face to face. Consequently, teachers can explain course materials most interestingly in a physical classroom.
At the same time there are people who think that studying at school is not very effective because there are a lot of moments of distraction that do not support the class’s educational process.
I do not agree with the opinion mentioned above. Distracting moments are cancelled out by the positive spirit that any school atmosphere creates. Students get inspiration from each other as well.
In conclusion, I would like to say there are opposing view points on this issue. At first sight studying at school might be boring but in actual fact it is more interesting than on-line furthermore it gives a lot of friends’ support since students help each other. Thus, I strongly believe that getting education at school is more interesting than online.
