In the future students may have the choice of studying by using technology... #1 (permalink) Thu May 27, 2010 20:24 pm   In the future students may have the choice of studying by using technology...
 

In the future students may have the choice of studying by using technology such as comps or tv or of studying at a traditional schools.What do you prefer?
----
Every year the use of technology as computers or tv increases. It is possible in the future students may have a choice of studying either by using technologies or at traditional schools.

From my point of view , it is better to study at traditional schools. On the one hand you are able to visit the lecture or class and take your own notes. And if you do not get anything during your class you may easily keep in touch with teacher and ask the questions you are worried about any time you wish.But if the student chose the study by using technology he does not have such opportunity.

On the other hand, if you study by using technology , as for example computers, you have less chance to make friends and be in communication with people. Because there are a numerous number of people with many interests and points of view. Thus the more person keep in touch with people, the better he does.

In conclusion, I would like to mention that all of these technology will never replace the real life.And I strongly support the idea ,every person should prefer a study at traditional schools, as it has more advantageous and more interesting.

A pretty good essay, but you must tighten up on your poor punctuation. Examiners are critical of such errors.
Also make sure that subject/verb are in agreement.

I hadn't known what you meant by the word 'comps'I look it up in two dictionaries:
Comp= a ticket for a play, sports game etc that is given away free= American English
Comp =a comprehensive school = British English
1-So you tell me what you meant?
2-TV not tv

That is really kind of you. This is really a short essay.
-------------------------------------------
I took TOEFL test so I know the takers should write at least 300 words in 30 minutes.
Besides, I took IELTS test and I am sure takers should write at least 250 words in 40 minutes.
-------------------------------------------
This essay consists of 205 words.

Please read this page:
a meaningful title.
Best of luck.

You looked it up in two dictionaries.
I looked at his next sentence, which made it obvious he meant 'computers.'

I thought, it is a new word. :-))
So smart! It seemed like a problem of mind-boggling complexity. :)
Thank you.

No problem. It has to be easier when it is your native language.

Good morning Richard. You are correct of course.
He should have written computer and not comp.
By the same token, he should have written television and not tv, or TV.
You might have also noted that I said it was a pretty good essay, and not a good, very good, or excellent essay.
H2 is also a new member with only three posts this credit.
An important part of my role as a moderator is to foster a good relationship with all new members, and I had hoped that my comments would achieve that.

Kitos.

Good afternoon Kitosdad,
Yes, you are right.
You have been revising all of the essays of pupils so far. It is the most time-consuming, but ultimately rewarding, job.
This is the most important and helpful forum of this website:
Prep Forum for the TOEFLŪ Test and essay samples collection
Moderators: Alan, Mister Micawber, Kitosdad
I had seen there was sometimes nobody to take his/her time to evaluate the essays. Some of them remained unanswered.
I think Mister Micawber is busy with other forums and websites and I have rarely seen Alan's comments on this forum. (He is busy too).
Thank you very much indeed.
We love you Bill.

:-) Nobody is ever TOO bad.Everybody needs to be taught to drive, and everybody needs to be taught English. You only need a patient helper to get you safely on the road.
