英语自学网

　　The computer is widely used in education，and some people think teachers do
not play important roles in the classroom. To what extend do you agree or
disagree?
        　　With more and more extensive use of computers in education, some people
claim that the importance attached to teachers has been jeopardized. Therefore,
computers will replace teachers in the classroom. However, it seems quite clear
to me that learning from teachers is the most important way that cannot be
substituted for students.
        　　Naturally, some people maintain that computer should instead of the old way
of education. They hold that the strong function of the computer offers a new
mode of education, which is more interesting, more vivid and more acceptable by
children. The students will not face to the serious teachers and calm classes
any more, which are replaced by a brand-new world offered by the Internet. In
addition, this can decrease the investment on the foundational education and
save the human resources and material resources.
        　　As an assistant, computers do help teachers with their work, but they can
never replace the important role of a real teacher. The main functions of any
computer are storage and calculation. It cannot think on its own anyway. All the
teaching data stored in computers are the essence of teaching experience
generalized by many teachers during their work. Hence, to assist education, what
a computer can do is just to repeat the contents summarized by real
teachers.
        　　In addition, each student has different talents and different defects, and
accordingly, they may come across various problems during their study. Computer
programmer designing the software, however, cannot predict these problems.
Therefore, a single computer can never solve these problems without a teacher’s
guidance
        　　Furthermore, if the significance of teacher has been weakened, the number
of teachers may be decreased, that is to say, many teachers may be laid-off. If
such a case comes to reality, series of social problems will break out, such as
the drop of working opportunity which will surely make the burden of whole
society become heavier and heavier.
