Example of a structured composition

Nowadays Internet is fundamental to work, mainly for teenagers. We can have online courses, search whatever we want, communicate with people through a webcam or calls. Online courses are one of the most interesting things anyone can do. But this has some advantages and some disadvantages.
E-learning has several advantages. First of all, people can choose when and for how long they want to study. Secondly, people don't have to be in a certain place at a certain time, as they can study at home or wherever they want to. Furthermore we don't have to spend money on fuel or tickets to go to a place.

On the other hand, with e-learning there is no chance of meeting other people and share ideas with them. Moreover e-learning depends totally on technology and if the computer is damaged we miss lessons.

In conclusion, I believe that e-learning helps a lot of people and can be useful to increase the culture level of a society.

E-learning - advantages and disadvantages by 9C

Due to technology advances we can have access to e-learning. However, like everything else there are for and against arguments.

Using e-learning has its advantages, such as students can study at their own pace. Then it is more convenient for people that can not go to lessons, because they can study at home. Moreover, it saves time and money and gives a certificate.

Although there are so many advantages, there is also some drawbacks. Firstly, there is no face-to-face interaction, which is important. Secondly, if you have a doubt you have to wait for the tutor to be online. Furthermore online courses depend too much on technology and if you damage your computer, you lose some lessons.

In conclusion, I think e-learning can be useful but it is not better than going to school, as in school you meet new people and you can share knowledge and discuss ideas.

E-learning: for-and-against essay by 9 D

Nowadays Internet is the biggest resource to everything, even to learn online. That's called e-learning, which basically means learning through the web. There are several courses, such as languages, computer programming and even gardening courses. However, having online lessons has advantages and disadvantages.

There are several advantages. For example we can study without leaving home and then do not spend money on transports or spend too much time in traffic jams. Moreover, all can use it even the disable people. Furthermore, you can make your own schedule and work at your own pace. Also if we have doubts we can use video calls, or a chat room to talk to the teacher.

On the other hand, there are disadvantages. For instance computer problems can make students lose their lessons. And they also have to be able to afford a computer in order to access to the course. Another drawback is the loneliness, as there is no communication face-to-face; and spending too much time in front of the computer is bad for our health.

All in all, we believe that e-learning is a useful way to learn new things but it does not substitutes a classroom because you can learn more by sharing opinions and ideas.

Write about the advantages and disadvantages of e-learning by 9º B

Since the ancient Greeks that people go to school, where they have a teacher who shares his knowledge. But, since the invention of the computer and, after that, the Internet, a new type of learning appeared:
e-learning. Is it good or bad? Like everything else it has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Use the Internet to have an online course has many advantages. First of all, you can have lessons and work at your own pace. Secondly, you do not have to spend money on gas or tickets to go to the course. Moreover it is more convenient for people, who do not have time to go to the lessons. As they do not have to be in a certain place at a certain time. Furthermore people have access to a range of subjects, which they can choose and study.

On the other hand, E-learning has its own drawbacks. For instance a person who does not go to a classroom might work less and it can lead people to some loneliness. Another disadvantage is that when the computer fails, the student has no way of taking lessons. Also, e-learning depends too much on technology and the student must be able to afford it.

In conclusion, we believe e-learning is an advantage, as it a way to find information so we have more time to other activities. But be careful not to get addicted because you can stop having face-to-face communication.
