解答例
- For me, I prefer to take online courses instead of being in a traditional classroom.
- First of all, if we study online, then we won’t have to go to school. This is convenient, especially when it is raining or snowing outside.
- What is more, if we study online, the pressure of public traffic given by students will be lower, other citizens will spend less time on the road. Thus the city will be more efficient.
- Third, online courses won’t be limit by teachers, which means teachers in other cities can teach us, and we can enjoy a high quality of education.
