范文(在阅读此范文之前你至少已经花了一些时间写作)
Computers are now essential in many areas of life – modern banking, retail
and information exchange among others. However, this is not true for education.
At a simple level some subjects may be better taught using computers, but to
explain important concepts a human teacher is still indispensable. -
Introduction shows main idea
There are some subjects in which a computer can be used successfully to
teach. Elementary mathematics, elementary language leaning, any area which
requires a student to memorize basic facts through repetition is well suited to
computer learning. The computer can be programmed to provide an endless number
of simple questions, and as the student answers these questions the facts are
learned and reinforced. - Why computers do well, with examples
However, in the learning and practice of more complex ideas, the computer
is not adequate. A computer can evaluate an answer as right or wrong, but it
cannot determine why. It cannot find out why a student is making mistakes, and
then re-present important concepts in a different way so the student will
understand. It cannot determine at what stage in a mathematics problem the
student has made an error, it can only indicate that the final answer is wrong.
Tasks involving reasoning cannot be taught by computers, as there are too many
variables for a computer to deal with successfully. - What computers cannot be,
with an example
Thus, while computers may be useful as a tool for practicing simple skills,
they are not an essential feature of modern education, because they cannot
monitor a student's grasp of concepts, nor evaluate a student's reasoning. Until
further developments in computers are made the human teacher will remain
indispensable. - Conclusion re-states main ideas
Remember: this sample answer is one of several satisfactory ways to answer
the question. Other essays which respond to the writing task would also be
acceptable.
