[Dungthumon]

Topic: SOME STUDENT LIKE TO TAKE DISTANCE LEARNING COURSES BY COMPUTER. OTHER STUDENTS PREFER TO STUDY IN TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM SETTINGS WITH A TEACHER. CONSIDER ADVANTAGES OF BOTH OPTIONS, AND MAKE AN ARGUMENT FOR THE WAY THAT STUDENTS SHOUL ORGANIZE THEIR SCHEDULES.

In modern world , technology and science help student study their courses at home by a computer thanks to Internet instead of going to university by convention . However , each style of above studying has their own advantages . On the one hand , distance learning can help students save their time and feel more convenient at their own place . By this way , students can study and search for information , data everwhere they want , and they can also send their teachers questions and answers for exersise quickly . This method is helpful for students who have no time to attend classes regularly because of their full time job .

On the other hand , traditional type of studying is still popular bacause students have chances to contact with many people , to make friends , to establish a large relationship in society . Furthermore , students can raise their questions and ask teacher what they do not understand immediately . For teachers , in the process of teaching , they can discover what their students are limited and help them to get over these . In addition , during the time the students learn at school , they will have a number of unforgettable memories with friends , teachers , schools ….. that become an imortant part of their life .

Given all the advantage of both types of coures , I think the student will be wise in deciding which course to learn . With distance learning course , they can study independently and conveniently . Regarding tradional course , they will have more friends , opportunities to respones to their teacher , as well have wonderful memories .By sharing information with their friends , they will know the way to organize schedules for semesters .
