Online Learning
With the development of modern technology, the way of learning is changing. Online learning is getting more and more popular.
On the one hand, it’s good for us to learn online. Firstly, we can have a flexible timetable. We can make a plan by ourselves. In this way, we can have more free time to arrange our life. Secondly, online learning provides us with rich learning resources. We can get any information we like easily. In addition, we can be able to go on lerning without leaving the house, especially under the bad weather.
On the other hand, there are also some disadvantanges. For example, learning for a long time is bad for our eye. Even worse, we can’t control ourselves and do something like playing computer games, which will have a bad effect on our study.
In my opinion, I enjoy the modern learning on the Internet and we must try our best to make good use of it in our study.
