ssor

will

know

one

compelling

reason

to

use

a

computer:

to

write

papers.

Although

not

all

students

feel

comfortable

composing

on

a

word

processor,

most

find

revising

and

editi

much

easier

on

it.

One

can

alter,

insert,

or

delete

just

by

pressing

a

few

keys,

thus

e

liminating

the

need

to

rewrite

or

re- type.

Fu

rthermore,

since

the

revision

process

is

less

burdensome,

students

are

more

likely

to

revi

se

as

often

as

is

necessary

to

end

up

with

t

possible.

For

these

reasons,

m

any

freshman

English

courses

require

the

us

of

a

processor.

Computers

are

also

useful

生都应该随时能使用自己的电脑。

那么，

电脑能

够给大学生带来什么好处呢

?

任何一个使用过

程序的人都知道使用电脑

的一个必要 原因：写论文。

[58]

虽然并非所有学

生都喜欢在

word

文档里写东西，但是大部分学

只

需 按下几个键，你就可以修改、插入或者删除，

无需重写或重新输入。

此外，

由于这种修改并不

怎么烦累，

学生更有可能经常修改，

从而完成一

篇质量最高的论文。

因此，

很多为大一新生开设

的英文课程都要 求学生使用

程序。

电脑对于语言课程也是非常有用的 ，

它们能

帮助学生训练基本的语言能力。

软件程序为非母

语英语课程，同时还有法语、德语、西班牙语以

通过定期

使用这些程序 ，

学生可以根据自己的进度提高语

言水平。

理科类学生可以用电脑做很多事情。

比如，

利用

电脑的绘图功能，

生物专业的学生可以描述和分

析不同植物的生长模式。

医学专业的学生可以学

会利用电脑合成的图片来了解人体的内部构造。

运用电脑，

比在没有电脑时快得多。

同样，

商 务和会计专业的学生会发现，

他们

作业的很多方面都离不开电脑 上的电子制表软

件；

而想从事平面造型艺术、

作的学生会发现懂电脑绘图很重要。

教 育学专业

的学生学习用电脑开发评分系统，

而社会科学专

业的学生使用电脑对研究结果进行分析，

并将研

综上所述，

难怪教育专家会赞成学生购买和使用

个人电脑。

作为一种多功能工具，电脑能堡

帮助学生堂习。毕竟，这也就是读 大学的原因。
