Question

【题目】请阅读下面文字, 并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

This week should have seen the beginning of a new semester. Instead, China has been witnessing a different kind of new semester because of the novel coronavirus outbreak. Many Chinese schools have suspended the new semester and moved the classrooms online, leading to an explosion of viewings on online educational platforms,

On the first day of school, DingTalk, a virtual workplace developed by Alibaba Group, held online classes for an estimated 50 million students nationwide, from primary to high school level.

The huge demand led many to assume that online classrooms are the source of future prosperity. But according to a guideline issued by the Ministry of Education on Feb 12, “postponement of school without suspension of learning” is not equal to learning through online courses. As the education authorities have said, it is unnecessary for every teacher to record online courses to be evaluated for quality. Also, kindergarten classes cannot be held online.

Answer 1

【答案】To prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, schools have postponed the new semester, which has made online education an indispensable medium for students to take lessons. However, the authorities concerned call for an emergency stop.

Indeed, online classes can overcome the time and space limitation, but in my opinion they can never replace traditional classes. Firstly, paying little attention to teachers, many students are busy chatting online or clicking likes, which compromises knowledge learning. Secondly, parents are under pressure to fully cooperate with teachers as they have to monitor and tutor their children at home to ensure they are not distracted while attending online classes. Besides, it is also harmful to urge teachers who are not qualified to do so to start live-streaming. The poor quality of education will affect the students' development in the long run.

In conclusion, online study is a supplement of traditional study way at best rather than a replacement.

【解析】

这是一篇读写任务。文章主要讲述了中国学校由于新型冠状病毒疫情延期开学这一情况，导致人们认为网课会成为以后的趋势。但教育部发表声明，网课不会成为评价老师的标准。

首先概括上文所述内容。通读全文，我们可以这样对文章进行概括：为了防止新型冠状病毒的传播，学校推迟新学期上课时间，这导致学生通过媒体上在线课程。但是，专家们对于这种情况已经紧急叫停。

就“网络直播课程是否会取代传统课堂”发表自己的看法，然后用2-3个理由支撑自己的观点。例如：不赞成网络课程会代替传统课堂。原因：没有老师的监督，一部分同学上网课时忙着聊天或其它与学习无关的事情；父母承担着监督学生的责任，他们不得不监督和指导孩子，以确保孩子可以高效地上网课，这增加了父母的负担；让老师上网课对老师也不好，因为他们没有义务和资质从事在线教育。
