Essay "Can the internet and TV substitute teachers?" 28.03.18 Education is one of the most important things for people in the modern world. Thus, the teaching profession is crucial for our society. However, some people think that students can get more information from the internet and television. In my opinion, it is a misconception and teachers cannot be substituted in this way. Firstly, tutors are able to clarify all confusing information for pupils, if necessary, whereas the internet and the television fail to do so. So teachers can ensure that students have understood any given information and in particular cases provide additional explanations. Secondly, and it is a highly important point, pupils can get feedback on their homework and tasks that they have done. It helps to understand their problems, if they have any, and to find a way to improve their skills. Moreover, it creates an individual approach towards every student and makes it certain that everyone optimises their potential. Despite the fact that the internet contains a much greater amount of information and sometimes this information can be more visual and comprehensible, it is very hard for students to follow an efficient self-education process. Except for some rare occasions, supervision represented by a teacher is needed to create an appropriate curriculum that will help to make fast progress. To conclude, in spite of the amount of information contained by the internet, the teaching profession is still extremely important. Only with the help of a teacher can students make swift progress and understand complicated themes. So even in this highly technological era we cannot substitute teachers. Therefore, a teaching job is highly valued and greatly benefits our society.

Essay "Can the Internet andTelevision be a Substitute for Teachers?" 28.03.18

Education is one of the most important things for people in the modern world. Thus, teaching professionals are crucial for our society. However, some people believe that students are able to obtain more information from the internet and television, than from teachers. In my opinion, this is a faulty thought; teachers cannot be substituted through these means.

Firstly, teachers are able to clarify confusing information to their pupils, as needed, whereas the internet and television lack the ability to explain and clarify information. Thus, teachers can ensure that students have understood the given information and, in some cases, provide additional explanations.

Secondly, and this is a highly important point, pupils are able to receive feedback from their teachers on their homework and the tasks that they have done. This helps them to understand their problems, and to find a way to improve their skills. Moreover, this creates an individual approach for every student and makes it certain that everyone is able to achieve their full potential.

Despite the fact that the internet contains a much greater amount of information than an individual teacher, it is very difficult for students to tackle an efficient, self-education learning process, even if the information on the internet can sometimes be more visual and comprehensible. Other than on some rare occasions, supervision by a teacher is required to create a sufficient curriculum that will help to ensure that students are able to make rapid progress.

To conclude, in spite of the amount of information contained by the internet, teaching professionals are still highly important. Only with the help of a teacher can students make rapid progress, and understand complicated themes. Thus, even in this highly technological era, we cannot rely on the internet and television as a substitute for teachers. Therefore, a teaching job is highly valued, and makes great benefits to our society.

It’s an IELTS topic for an essay, I just randomly choose them. I can’t alter them, in most cases it’s just two possibilities, you should either agree or disagree, sometime you haven’t got even this freedom when you should write only about positive traits or effects of discussed topic. So this essay doesn’t represent my point of view.

You wrote a good essay, but I don't agree with it. I work as a teacher of English, but I do not think that my job is strictly necessary. Teaching in a school or tutoring individuals can obviously work, because these have been the normal methods used to pick up foreign languages for centuries; but I often tell my students that my input is not indispensable, and that, even if they listen to me in the classroom, their most important learning should take place outside it. It is speaking, listening, reading and writing in real contexts that brings you forwards in a foreign language. The best thing you can do is to go to the country where your chosen language is spoken by natives (this is learning by 'immersion'). If this is not possible there are huge quantities of language-learning material on the internet: inspirational strategies, grammar, vocabulary, games, songs, films - whatever you want, and more! And sites like this one make it possible to speak to native speakers who can show you how the language really works in a way that no teacher can. But studying on your own is not so sociable and it requires a lot of work. Teachers? - You can do without them. I speak four foreign languages with varying degrees of skill, and I learned three of them without teachers.
