Traditional classroom:
.
Advantages:
more
direct
communication
between
the
teacher
and
students;
a
better
learning atmosphere.
.
Disadvantages:
little
interaction
either
among
students
or
between
students
and
the
teacher;
the
teacher
tending
to
dominate
the
class;
writing
on
blackboard
reducing
efficiency.
Multimedia
learning:
. Advantages: more vivid teaching
materials;
.
disadvantages:
too
many
distractions
with
too
many
pictures
and
videos
in
multimedia
classrooms.
Studying online:
. advantages: being able to choose when
and what you want to learn; easy access to the
wide
range of online information.
.
disadvantages:
making
it
easier
for
students
to
copy
answers
from
the
Internet;
lack
of
face-to-face
communication
between
the
teacher
and
students;
the
possibility
for
students
to
develop Internet addiction.
2. .
I
prefer
the
multimedia
way
of
learning.
A
multimedia
classroom
is
vivid
with
teaching
materials
presented
in
different
ways:
slides,
pictures,
and
even
movies.
Compared
with
a
traditional classroom, a multimedia
classroom is more interesting.
. To be frank, I prefer to
study online. In this way I can manage my own
time. I can have my
own priorities and
do things at my own pace. It is simply what I
want.
3. . Yes. The
Internet is indispensable in teaching and learning
nowadays.
It is hard to imagine
what it would be like without the
Internet. We would have no easy or quick way to
learn about
the
latest
development
of
teaching
and
learning.
We
would
miss
the
many
interesting
online
courses; we
couldn
’
t communicate
effectively with teachers after class.
We just can
’
t
afford to
lose the Internet.
. No. teaching
and learning had been carried out long before the
Internet came into being. And
people
did just as well without the Internet or the
computer. It is true that the Internet makes
teaching and learning more convenient
and more efficient, but it is by no means
indispensable.
I’
m sure we
can still teach or learn without the Internet.

3. because smartphones could draw
students

attention and
encourage sophisticated thinking.
4.
because
too
much
time
online
can
mean
too
little
time
I
real-life
studying
or
exercising
or
visiting with friends. If we spend too
much time online, we will be cut off from the real
world.
5. they used the money to wire
dorms with high-speed connections and equip their
campuses
with Wi-Fi networks.
6.
Becausethe
university
was
afraid
that
it
’
s
technology
was
not
as
advanced
as
that
of
other
universities, it gave
away free Apple iPads to compensate for its
inferiority in this aspect.
7.
If
a university
can
’
t
keep
up
with
the rest
f
the
world,
or
if
it
can
’
t
provide
high-bandwidth
information as expected, it will be at
a competitive disadvantage.
8. it is
mainly because they want to provide students with
the most advanced free system.
Critical thinking
2
1 .Yes,
I
think
so.
Internet
access
is
a
must
on
campus.
We
students
need
the
Internet
to
do
research
for
our
study,
to
obtain
information
to
broaden
our
knowledge
of
the
world,
to
communicate with family and friends,
and to enrich our lives in our spare time.
.
No,
I
don
’
t
think
so.
There
are
many
potential
disadvantages
if
Internet
access
is
so
easily
accessible
on
campus.
Some
students
may
waste
too
much
time
I
playing
online
games
or
chatting online, be tempted to visit
“
unhealthy
”
< br> websites, or even become Internet-addicted and
neglect their study.
2 .It sounds like an awful idea to me.
Obtaining knowledge is only part of learning.
Learning not
only gives us a wealth of
knowledge, it also provides us with great vision,
strong principles, social
abilities,
good
manners,
interpersonal
skills
and
many
more
valuable
attributes.
This
obviously
cannot be realized
by learning at home only with the computer.
.I think it is
a good idea that students can study at home via
the Internet in the future. Learning
would become more flexible and
accessible. This way, college education could
become available
to many more people,
old or young, near or far, healthy or handicapped.
3 . The Internet and smartphones have
become an indispensable part of our daily life
because
they
don
’
t
cost
much
and
they
make
communication
much
more
convenient.
We
can
talk
to
people,
or
leave
them
messages
almost
anywhere
and
anytime.
And
very
often
we
will
get
responses in no time.
. With the Internet and
smartphones becoming more and more popular, we are
forgetting how
to write with a pen or
how to talk with people face to face. The more we
use the Internet and
smartphones,
the
less
we
meet
our
friends
in
real
life.
Even
when
friends
meet
face
to
face,
instead of talking
with each other, they all look at their
smartphones, checking email or posting
something on WeChat.
4 .Life
would
be
unimaginable
without
the
Internet
or
smartphones.
I
depend
on
them
to
do
everything,
from study to communication, from shopping to
entertaining. Without the Internet,
the
backing
systems,
the
communications
systems,
in
fact
all
key
aspects
closely
related
to
peoples
’
life
will collapse. Life without the Internet would be
terrible and simply unimaginable.
.Actually, I
wouldn
’
t mind having a life
without the Internet or smartphones.
Without them, I
would meet
my family and friends face to face and spend more
quality time together. I might take
up
some
interesting
hobbies
or
try
something
new.
So,
without
them
life
might
become
even
more colorful.
