Nowadays computer-aided instruction is getting more and more popular on the campus throughout the world, especially in teaching English. More and more students tend to learn English independently with the help of multimedia learning software. They claim that they have more freedom of learning whatever they like at their own pace, with both ease and care. What’s more, computer-aided instruction is an original way of learning, which can arouse students’ interest.
However some people believe that teachers can better help students learn knowledge and acquire skills. They argue that, for one thing, students cannot talk to machines. It goes without saying that to learn English better, students should talk to teachers and get in touch with them. For another, computers cannot supervise students, thus some students spend the precious time not on English, but on net-chatting or browsing porn websites.
As far as I am concerned, computers cannot replace teachers in English teaching because students need to contact human beings, not machines. At the same time, they should try their best to gain more from computer-assisted programs. By combining the two methods, students can learn English better.

On Overseas Study

2． 也有人坚持在国内也能实现自己的理想；
3． 我的看法。

When it comes to the choice of whether to study abroad or at home, different people have different opinions. Some see more advantages to overseas study, while others believe that the disadvantages outweigh its advantages.
With the deepening of reform and opening-up of our country, many people can go abroad for further study. They insist that there are more modern research facilities, world famous professors and excellent environment in some foreign colleges and universities, which lay a perfect foundation for their future development.
However, there are still many people who favor studying at home. They argue that, for one thing, studying abroad is too expensive and therefore doesn’t pay off. For another, there are no language and cultural barriers if they study in our country.
Just as the old saying goes, “Every advantage has its disadvantage,” so I believe both opinions are acceptable in some sense. If students have the chances and financial resources, they should seize the opportunity to go abroad and broaden their eyes. On the other hand, if conditions don’t permit, they can pursue their studies at top universities in our country. What counts is not the place where they study, but what they can learn.
