My learning life affected by the novel coronavirus
Due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, almost all of the universities in China decided to postpone the new school term. Taking online classes instead of face-to-face one. But I think this kind of class might dilute the quality of usual course.
Some teachers took online classes through sending videos that have already recorded by famous professors. Therefore they didn't have to prepare course in advance. What a easy job! And a number of students who only focus on the final exam rather than learning process, opened the videos sent by their teachers , then just went and worked on their own. Because there is no one to supervise them.
But among them there is still a few students who understand what they really want in colleges. I just want to say someone will choose to take advantage of the epidemic to relax completely, and someone maybe choose to take advantage of the epidemic to improve themselves, to achieve their goals. The differences between them not because of the epidemic but because they are different.

My learning life affected by the novel coronavirus
Due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, almost all of the universities in China decided to postpone the new school term. Taking online classes instead of face-to-face ones. But I think this kind of class might dilute the quality of the usual course.
Some teachers took gave online classes through by sending videos that have had already been recorded by famous professors. Therefore they didn't have to prepare the course in advance. What an easy job! And A number of students, who only focus on the final exam rather than the learning process, opened the videos sent by their teachers, then just went and worked on their own, because there is no one to supervise them.
This is very well written in really good English on a complicated topic, well done!
A few things to look out for:
- Try not to start sentences with "and", "but" and "because".
- Teachers don't take classes they give them. The students take the class.
- You used "someone" which refers to a single person, but in this case you meant many people might take advantage, so you need "some people" plural.
- You have some really long sentences, which you should try to avoid. If you have a long sentence, of more than 20 words or so, you should see if you can break it up. I'm being overly critical here because not many native English speakers do this well. It just makes the writing easier to read.

My student life affected by the novel coronavirus
---OR: How my life as a student has been affected by the novel coronavirus
Due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, almost all of the universities in China decided to postpone the start of the new school term. And so I'm taking online classes instead of face-to-face ones.
---(This is what I understand you mean)
But I think this kind of class might not be as high quality as usual courses.
---"dilute the quality" sounds a bit strange.
Some teachers took (gave?) online classes by sending videos that had already recorded by famous professors. Therefore they didn't have to prepare their course in advance. What an easy job! And some students, who only focus on the final exam rather than learning process, just opened the videos sent by their teachers and then just went and worked on their own because there is no one to supervise them.
---don't start a sentence with because: link it to the previous sentence
However, there are still a few students who understand what they really want from college. I just want to say that some people will choose to take advantage of the epidemic to relax completely,
---(OR: to take a holiday: this has a slightly more negative idea, which is what I think you mean here)
and some people will choose to take advantage of the epidemic to improve themselves and achieve their goals. The difference is not the epidemic, but people's attitudes.
---I liked your article. Thank you!
---Your writing was mostly easy to understand, except the confusion between take and give a course.
---Most of my corrections were just to give a more natural feel.
---Duncan gave a very good summary of what you could look out for and how you could improve your writing in general.

My learning life affected by the novel coronavirus
Due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, almost all of the universities in China decided to postpone the new school term. Taking online classes instead of in-person ones. But I think this kind of class might dilute the quality of our usual courses.
Some teachers taught online classes by sending videos that were recorded by famous professors. Therefore they didn't have to prepare their courses in advance. What an easy job! And a number of students who only focused on the final exam rather than learning the material. They opened the videos sent by their teachers, then just went and worked on their own because there was no one to supervise them.
But among them there are still a few students who understand what they really want in colleges. I just want to say some people will choose to take advantage of the epidemic to relax completely, and others may choose to take advantage of the epidemic to improve themselves, and achieve their goals. The differences between them are not because of the epidemic, but because they are different.
