READING AND WRITING

TEXT 1

Read the text below and answer items 05 and 06.

COMPUTERS AT SCHOOL

Should schools get with the program?

Cyberspace. The internet. The World Wide Web. This is the age of information technology.
Computers can offer thousands of learning opportunities to kids and teens in school. But these high-tech
learning tools cost a lot of money. Should schools get with the program and spend more money on
computers? Are computers worth the cost? Read both side of this debate and decide.

YES!

Computer technology and the Internet are quickly changing the way people work and live
everywhere. Even students in poor communities can get a wealth of learning opportunities from a single
desktop computer. Internet connections can retrieve data from the best libraries and learning resources in
the world. We should bring the power of the information age into all our schools. Computers are a
passport to the future!

NO!
Computers are useful, but they can never substitute for good teachers. Computers are
expensive, and schools will have to spend even more time and money training teachers how to use
computers and computer programs. Besides, computers will never solve problems like underpaid
teachers, overcrowded classrooms, and students who don’t want to learn. Instead of spending money on
computers, schools should spend their precious money on basic needs like paying better salaries to their
teachers and buying books.
(Adapted from “Computers At School”, in Scholastic News Online, Senior Edition, September5, 1997)

I would say that the amount of information and the speed it comes to us are positive
points because now it is easier to look for any information from health to cars without
spending much money and time . On the other hand, much of this information is not true
and its very difficult to check if it is a reliable site or not . Besides that, although we can
buy things much easier through internet we can also have our personal information got by a
hacker.
