TOEFL® Essay: In the future, students may have the choice of studying at home...

[Blackswallow]

As the society has been industrialized, there will be more and more way for the student to access to the knowledge. Some student thinks that staying at home and using technology such as computers or television is better because they do not have to come to school, then it takes them less time. But I think the best way to learn is the traditional one- going to school. At traditional school, you will have chance to interact with other students, work together with them and learn from teachers.

It is necessary for you not only to learn the academic knowledge but also the communication skill. When you come to a traditional school, where there are a lot of other students, you have chance to interact with them. You learn how to make friend, how to introduce about yourself, how to understand another. You also have chance to play with them then it will cheer you up. Talking to friend is not only help you increase your social information but also entertain you.

When you come to a traditional school, you also have chance to work together with other students. So you can learn from them how to learn better. You can learn how to express your idea in a understandable way. You can learn how to cultivate you mind through another’s idea. Moreover, working together will motivate you, you will try your best because you want to do better than your friend.

One of the best advantage when you study at a traditional school is you will be taught by a teacher, who have a lot of experience. Nowadays, there are a lot of books, websites that you can get information from, but do you know which is the best? It will take you so much time to read all of them then pick one that is most appropriate for you. But the teacher, with many experienced years, will know which book is the best, which teaching model is fit you. And the most wonderful thing is you can ask her or him wherever you get trouble.

I love going to my school although it takes me a half of hour to go there. Because in my school, I have so many my friends, who I share my happiness and sadness, and my teachers, who always ready to help me. And I am sure that if there was someday I have to stay at home, I would miss them so much
