Model Essay(范文)：
If I have a choice between studying at home using computers and television or studying in atraditional school setting, I’d choose the traditional setting . Maybe it’s just what I’m usedto ,but I don’t think that technology can replace teachers and classrooms.
After all, technology can fail. Computers go down and computer programs crash. Televisionsbreak, and the electricity can suddenly go off. In those situations, who's going to teach me? IfI'm at school, and the television or the computers stop functioning, there's a teacher to step inand change the lesson plan. Teachers can draw on their teaching experience and be creative. Computers and televisions can't.
I'd also miss the chance to interact with other students if I weren't going to school. I thinklearning to play and work with other people is one of the most important lessons we learn inschool. It prepares us for life, and for working with other people. Being with other people alsohelps us discover who we are.
Another concern I have about studying at home is getting distracted. It's strange, but I thinkbeing home alone is more distracting than being at school with a lot of people. At school, we'reall focused on the same subjects. At home, it would be so easy to turn off the computer or thetelevision and go do something else. I might tell myself that it's okay to play a computer gamenow and make up the study hours later. Chances are, I'd never make up the study hours.
I'm all in favor of using technology in the classroom. I think computers and television are greatways for students to have access to a lot of information. I just don't think they should be theonly tools I have as a student. I also need teachers and other students to help me get acomplete education.
