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.
