你喜欢学校教育还是通过电脑进行网络教育？
E.g. Online education over school education
(1)随时性：不局限于某个时间 can be given at any time
(2)随地性：不局限于某个地点 can be given at any place
(3)共享性：任何人只要注册均可享受 available to any one who has registered
E.g. School Education over online education
(1)可以有课堂讨论：discussion in class
(2)可以随时问老师问题：ask a teacher question
(3)有互动：a teacher may adjust easily
Sample answer:
I like online education better than the other choice for the following reasons.
Well, first of all, online education means we can have access to it whenever we want either at home or in the library or any other place where we can go online. This means we no longer have to sit in the classroom with lots of other students all at the same time.
You see, I am night person. I tend to go to bed late and get up late. So if the class is in the morning, probably I will miss it. But if it is online, it means I do not have to get up early and drag myself out of bed to travel to my classroom. I can even watch it in my bed.
What’s more online courses give us a chance to watch for more than one time. Sometimes when we sit in a classroom, we may not understand some difficult part very clearly but we cannot rewind the lecturer. However, if it is online, we can play it as many times as we like until we fully understand the lecture. Isn’t it good news?

你喜欢小课堂的讨论还是大课堂的讲座。
E.g. Small class over big one
(1)每个人都可以进行练习：plenty of exercises for everyone in class
(2)可以采用多种形式的活动：arrange desks in U-shape or half-a-circle
(3)更多的师生交流：more discussion between teachers and students
E.g. Big class over small one
(1) 交流机会多：have more chances to communicate
(2)人多信息量大、许多想法：get more information, more ideas
(3) 气氛活跃：enjoy good atmosphere in discussion
Sample answer:
I prefer a small class atmosphere like a seminar for the following reasons.
Well I am postgraduate student majoring in Ancient Greek Literature. Most of the time we discuss what we have read from the reading list and exchange our ideas. If it is in a small group, it means everybody has the chance to express his/her ideas, which is almost impossible in a big class.
Also, in a small class, we can play out some of the stories that we have read. By acting different roles in the stories, we have a deeper and better understanding of what we have read. But unfortunately it cannot be done in a big classroom. Or you have to wait for a very long time before it is your turn, probably for a whole semester or even longer. |
