【参考范文】

Currently, on-line learning is booming all around the world as an increasing number ofpeople prefer to use the Internet to take courses and acquire knowledge instead of attending school. E-learning provides many options in terms of time, location, subjects and costs. It can be predicted that students’ lives will absolutely and definitely be changed as e-learning becomes more and more popular in the future.

 Firstly, there is no doubt that online learning offers students more up-to-date knowledge, allowing them to keep up with the latest development in each field. Additionally, students can choose their learning location and time much more freely. Lastly, e-learners do not have to pay the expenses of transportation and accommodation, so the cost of e-learning will be less than that of attending a traditional school. Consequently, that is the reason why a lot of people give up attending school in favor of e-learning.

Although it is beneficial for students to choose online courses, the personal interaction between teachers and students in schools is irreplaceable.Therefore, we should combine attending school and e-learning together.
