Writing:
Nowadays, people choose to take online classes because of convenience. Moreover, after
the COVID-19 epidemic, online learning is used more and more strongly. Everything has its
good and bad sides but in my opinion, online education has more disadvantages than
advantages.
We all cannot deny the benefits that online education brings, especially during Covid-19.
First, the biggest benefit is convenience. You can sit at home and study on your own mobile
device without having to move, saving time and effort. With online learning, we can study
anytime, anywhere. Moreover, online learning makes it easy to store study documents.
Instead of having to take notes and search for assignments in books, we can easily save the
lectures we learn when studying online on our electronic devices. This way helps us to
organize many documents in a reasonable and easy way. We can quickly find that study
documents when we need to use them.
Besides, online learning also has its bad sides. The first thing is that learning online will
easily distract learners, not paying attention to the lecture and doing their own work. This will
make us learn less and if prolonged, it will affect the quality of learning. Another important
thing is that learning online is limited to communication and teamwork. When face-to-face, we
can easily discuss and give opinions, but online learning cannot. We will not be able to
organize learning activities, reducing our ability to communicate and express opinions. This is
very harmful for us if the online learning situation is prolonged. Last but not least, looking at
electronic screens a lot makes our eyes weak and tired. In the long run, looking at it often will
cause dangerous eye diseases.
In conclusion, online education has both good and bad sides. Everyone should balance and
combine online and offline learning to bring the best results for us

Writing: Nowadays, e-classes are going down well. This has been welcomed as a great
opportunity by many students. However, there are some students who think that online
studying is less effective than ordinary classes.

On the first hand, the most reasonable reason that studying online takes some pros is
convenience. We can just stay at home, turn on our devices and study through monitor,
phone, tablet,... For instance, in the Covid-19 pandemic, students must stay at home and
study online classes in order not to be halted their study progress. Moreover, effectiveness is
also one positive fact of studying through apps and websites. We can choose teachers or
websites by yourself to get the effectiveness for your progress of studying. There is a typical
example that in Vietnam, if you live in a suburb area and there aren’t good teachers around
your region to study, you can access the Internet and choose a teacher you prefer or choose
a online course, which will improve your study.

On the other hand, there are some arguments that face-to-face studying is better than online
courses. One of them is that online studying makes the students pay less attention to their
studies. Covid-19 pandemic is one example of this phenomenon: there are a lot of students
turning off their cameras, sleeping, playing games,… when they are studying with their
devices. Subsequently, online education can lead to bad mental health. According to the
investigation in 2021, more or less 50% of students feel bad when they have to study online.
Almost 25% of them are depressed and have to get mental clinic care.

In conclusion, the education with online classes are developing faster and faster. There are a
lot of advantages and disadvantages around this new type of education.

Writing: With nowadays condition, online education have been gaining more attention in
multiple country but everything comes with 2 sides of effect. This has been a hot topic to
discuss ever since the global spread of Covid-19 started and I’m going to present my point of
view on this phenomenon.

The first thing that came on to my mind is the benefits that online education brought to us is
the convenience of not having to go to school. The reason why it is the first thing that I think of
is because the rising gas price with no signs of reducing. The main cause for this is the war
between Russia and Ukraine making students with less lucky condition that lives far from
school have even more difficulty going to school. Secondly, students won’t have to worry
about preparing books for the following day since all they need to do is go to their
bookshelves and grab the neccessary paper instead of carrying a backpack to school. Finally,
by staying home they can avoid viruses, bad weather, anything that affect their health
because schools are a great place for viruses.

However, there’s a downhill to this, with online education, there’s no supervisor so the teacher
can barely acknowledge what the students are doing because they can simply turn off the
camera and then sleep or eat or even play video games without the teacher knowing. Due to
this reason, students won’t be studying carefully bringing their knowledge down causing them
to fail the test. Secondly, in this case, the student actually pay attention to class but then
suddenly, technical error strikes. It can be anything like bad wifi, lights out or even their
learning device got a problem resulting in lack of knowledge on that subject.

In conclusion, online education is unsecure and not as effective as the traditional way of
learning, in this discussion, I’d say I keep myself in the neutral ground because they both
sounds like good deal to me, online education doesn’t make me wake up at 6AM but
traditional learning helps me meet my friends.

Writing: In recent years, distance teaching and learning has become increasingly popular
among the students and this is perceived differently by learners. Many students perceive this
as a beneficial aid in learning while others think that they are not as much effective as
classroom teaching.This essay will discuss about the merits and demerits of distant learning.
Studying an online course provides a flexible timing and less budgeted learning for
students. They are able to learn their desire course and subjects on their suitable time. This
gives a great opportunity for learners to gain new skills and strengthen their knowledge level
staying in their own place.
However, online courses give more emphasis on the theoretical part of learning and there
is less teacher and student interaction. It lacks the practical aspects of learning and
encourage the passive learning. This is very obvious that students find it as a less effective
learning than in the classroom.
In conclusion,studying online has its own benefits and its downsides.But i prefer studying
in a traditional way.

Writing: nowadays, online education has become increasingly popular. In my opinion, this
problem has both pros and cons. however it has more disadvantages than advantages

At present, covid 19 situation has become complicated, studying online is the only way to
continue learning without students having to go to school. First of all, studying online has
many advantages. Students and teachers don’t need to spend time going to school, they just
need to stay at home to teach and learn through computers, mobile phones and television.
especially in covid, it can reduce the spread of disease and keep students safe. students
study at home so parents can easily monitor and support the learning process of students.
During the learning, if students don’t understand, it also easier for caretakers to find out and
provide solutions to help them in their study

Secondly , online education is a self-study method so it needs multiple self-discipline.

Therefore, studying online causes several drawbacks such as students often learning while
playing so they can’t focus on their lessons. because study time at home is the same as study
in school, students must look at the screen full time so that their eyes will be damaged, they
have to wear eyeglasses. network connection is an important issue that needs to be take care
of when learning online. when the connection is an error, students can’t hear what teachers
say , it can reduce the quality of education. besides, students learn by high technology,so they
can search everything they don’t know on websites or some other search pages. however, if
they do it so many times they may rely on search engines without coming up with answers on
their own

in conclusion, online education is just a temporary plan in disease situations, it can’t continue
in the future. In my eyes, offline education is the best way to improve knowledge because it
has numerous benefits than online education

Although Covid 19 has gone out for a short time,the consequence of this epidemiologic
situation is still happening. As a result, online education has become more public and popular
nowadays .
When the situation of covid 19 was still serious and dangerous, online learning was
necessary to save people’s health. Moreover,you can study at home,so it’s convenient and
relaxing that you don’t need to move. For some people,studying online makes them absorb
lessons more easily because of a concentration in the quiet space.
On the other hand, it has a lot of disadvantages to stand in the way of education.Firstly, the
network can not be stable all the times.Sometimes,internet connection has an error caused by
bad weather or something else to affect concentration of individuals.Secondly, study at home
limited to exchange .For example, in the class,students can work in group together to
discussion about the lessons and learn more information of themself but at home, it's very
difficult to do it. Thirdly,the distraction of online education is popular in covid 19.Students can
play the games and use their phones all the time in the same time they study online with their
class and teacher.
In conclusion,if you are self-educated,it’s not have any problems that can hamper you. I think
both online education and study at school all have disadvantages and some benefits but you
should be integrated with any situation and try to accept it.

Writing:
Since Covid 19 appeared, teaching & learning online has became the best solution instead of
going to school. In my point of view, it is considered to be good for many reasons but its
effectiveness can be said to be lower than expected.

Online classes are the solution of the Government & the Ministry of Education to keep
students from losing knowledge in the last 2 years. It’s so convenient when we can sit indoors
but still can attend classes far away even thousands of kilometers away. Moreover, when at
home teachers & learners will have full teaching & learning tools, avoiding the case of
forgetting to bring them like on offline learning. For example, when learning offline, to present
a lecture you will need many stuffs like a speaker, microphones, projector. Instead when at
home all you need is just a laptop or even with just a smartphone you can show everything
you want.

On the other hand, the effectiveness of online learning is also divided into 2 cases. With those
who study hard, there won’t be much difference between online & offline. But those who don’t
focus on learning can create holes in their knowledge because the teachers can’t control what
students are doing behind the screen. Last but not least, we all know that blue light from
electronic devices is very harmful to eyes and health when used continuously.

In conclusion, online learning is not all good & not all bad. In my opinion, I still prefer to study
in the traditional way because it’s more effective and I can communicate with people more
easily.

Writing:
Nowadays, studying online is gaining more popularity in society. In this paragraph, I will
discuss both the advantages and disadvantages of this phenomenon. In my point of view, this
appearance is adding more disadvantages than advantages.
Due to the outburst of Covid-19, students around the world have to adapt to a new type of
study which is online education. This is the effort from the government to encourage students
to continue to absorb knowledge throughout this difficult time. Moreover, this kind of education
promotes self-study and self-research from each individual because of the lack of detailed
guidance from teachers. From the basic idea given in online class, students can find more
information through study websites, online reports,...
However, it comes with lots of problems. Internet connection and stabilization is always a
big concern when approaching this style of study. It is hard to fully process an online lesson if
the wifi connection is low. Therefore, the image and sound quality will drop and students might
not be able to understand clearly what the teacher is trying to provide. Because of that, they
have to waste an extra amount of time to learn the lesson they miss. On top of that,
discussing thought screens is complicated. Another example is some periods students need
to debate and build up some sessions of the lesson. Rather than talk face to face, students
have to text or call each other which is time-consuming and uneffective.
In conclusion, the rising trend of studying online has its own benefits and its downsides. I
agree with the negative views. The traditional education is way more secure and balanced
where students can get dedicated instruction and more open communication.

Writing:

In the last few years, online learning is being widely used as a new method to study. Even
though it has many drawbacks, its benefits are greater far more significant.

On the one hand, there is no doubt that study on the Internet is very convenient both for the
students and teacher. For example, students don't have to go to school directly, all they need
to do is logging in to websites or apps on any computers or ipads. So kids always in class in
time, no more worrying about being late. Not only that, preparing lessons has become easier
for teachers. They can use powerpoints to teach their students and re-use it in other classes.
Also, by instead checking exams one by one, they can upload tests on the Internet then let
the programs mark all the rest by the answers had given. It is easy to see that online learning
has some advantages in while COVID-19 burst out, because the fast spreading of the decase,
schools had to be closed to reduce the number of infections. Studying online is the solution
 for this situation, so students can keep on to the learning process

On the other hand, there are some disadvantages of the method. By staying at home and
studying online, children can be distracted from the lesson because of no supervisor. With a
device connected to the Internet, they can access to online games, social media while still
being online class. As a result, they will have bad grades for not learning which lead to
cheating and bad grades. Not to mention, learning all by themself will lead to negative
impacts. As a social being, staying home and learning alone for a long time makes children
stress one for not having friends to talk and share. And without having fun with friends, they
will feel most of the time they spent on homework.

In conclusion, online education both have pros and cons, but children still need adult's
guidance to study better.
