Question

【题目】 Ned and Miles are students at different colleges. Ned applies for an online school, while Miles attends classes on a school campus. The two students each believe that their school system is better than the other.

Ned: Hey, Miles. Are you free to see a movie tomorrow night?

Miles: Sorry, no. I’ll have a class tomorrow and a lot of homework to finish up.

Ned: Oh, that’s too bad. I’m so glad I take classes online. I can decide when, where and how to complete my lessons. It saves a lot of time.

Miles: It sounds good, but I actually really enjoy going to class because it’s a great way to get to know other people. It also helps me learn how to work well with others. If I don’t understand something, I’m always able to ask about it in person. That saves me a lot of time and prevents misunderstanding.

Ned: In an online class, I have to think thoroughly (彻底地) before asking questions. That teaches me how to solve problems on my own.

Miles: Do you ever run into technical (技术上的) problems in your online classes? If you can’t open a file, how can you continue your learning?

Ned: It’s not a big problem. I can email the teacher or contact another student for help.

Miles: But answering questions through emails takes too much time. You may fall behind on your studies.

Ned: You can fall behind, too. What if you get sick or your class gets canceled because the weather is bad? Those aren’t problems for online classes.

Miles: Yes, but there’s usually a make-up (弥补) class if a class is canceled.

Ned: In an online class, I don’t have to worry about missing classes for any reason. I can always review the previous (之前的) lessons online.

Miles: Don’t you feel lonely sometimes? I would feel lonely if I had to learn on my own.

Ned: I’m confident in learning by myself. Besides, an online class gives me more free time to take part in other activities.

Miles: I still prefer having classmates to brainstorm and discuss ideas with. I believe that improves my learning all the time.

Ned: I’m pretty self-disciplined (自律的), and I work better on my own. I can’t focus when working with others.

Miles: I guess everybody learn differently.
