Part II key to exercises Section A

Pre-reading activities

1． Traditional classroom:

. Advantages: more direct communication between the teacher and students; a better learning atmosphere.

. Disadvantages: little interaction either among students or between students and the teacher; the teacher tending to dominate the class; writing on blackboard reducing efficiency.

Multimedia learning:

. Advantages: more vivid teaching materials;

. disadvantages: too many distractions with too many pictures and videos in multimedia classrooms.

Studying online:

. advantages: being able to choose when and what you want to learn; easy access to the wide range of online information.

. disadvantages: making it easier for students to copy answers from the Internet; lack of face-to-face communication between the teacher and students; the possibility for students to develop Internet addiction.

2. . I prefer the multimedia way of learning. A multimedia classroom is vivid with teaching materials presented in different ways: slides, pictures, and even movies. Compared with a traditional classroom, a multimedia classroom is more interesting.

. To be frank, I prefer to study online. In this way I can manage my own time. I can have my own priorities and do things at my own pace. It is simply what I want.

3. . Yes. The Internet is indispensable in teaching and learning nowadays. It is hard to imagine what it would be like without the Internet. We would have no easy or quick way to learn about the latest development of teaching and learning. We would miss the many interesting online courses; we couldn’t communicate effectively with teachers after class. We just can’t afford to lose the Internet.

. No. teaching and learning had been carried out long before the Internet came into being. And people did just as well without the Internet or the computer. It is true that the Internet makes teaching and learning more convenient and more efficient, but it is by no means indispensable. I’m sure we can still teach or learn without the Internet.

Reading comprehension

Understanding the text 1.

1. A fleet of laptops, smartphones and Internet connectivity 24 hours a day. 2. wireless Internet access anywhere and anytime on campus.

3. because smartphones could draw students’ attention and encourage sophisticated thinking. 4. because too much time online can mean too little time I real-life studying or exercising or visiting with friends. If we spend too much time online, we will be cut off from the real world. 5. they used the money to wire dorms with high-speed connections and equip their campuses with Wi-Fi networks.

6. Becausethe university was afraid that it’s technology was not as advanced as that of other universities, it gave away free Apple iPads to compensate for its inferiority in this aspect.

7. If a university can’t keep up with the rest f the world, or if it can’t provide high-bandwidth information as expected, it will be at a competitive disadvantage.

8. it is mainly because they want to provide students with the most advanced free system.

Critical thinking 2

1 .Yes, I think so. Internet access is a must on campus. We students need the Internet to do research for our study, to obtain information to broaden our knowledge of the world, to communicate with family and friends, and to enrich our lives in our spare time.

. No, I don’t think so. There are many potential disadvantages if Internet access is so easily accessible on campus. Some students may waste too much time I playing online games or chatting online, be tempted to visit “unhealthy” websites, or even become Internet-addicted and neglect their study.

2 .It sounds like an awful idea to me. Obtaining knowledge is only part of learning. Learning not only gives us a wealth of knowledge, it also provides us with great vision, strong principles, social abilities, good manners, interpersonal skills and many more valuable attributes. This obviously cannot be realized by learning at home only with the computer.

.I think it is a good idea that students can study at home via the Internet in the future. Learning would become more flexible and accessible. This way, college education could become available to many more people, old or young, near or far, healthy or handicapped.

3 . The Internet and smartphones have become an indispensable part of our daily life because they don’t cost much and they make communication much more convenient. We can talk to people, or leave them messages almost anywhere and anytime. And very often we will get responses in no time.

. With the Internet and smartphones becoming more and more popular, we are forgetting how to write with a pen or how to talk with people face to face. The more we use the Internet and smartphones, the less we meet our friends in real life. Even when friends meet face to face, instead of talking with each other, they all look at their smartphones, checking email or posting something on WeChat.

4 .Life would be unimaginable without the Internet or smartphones. I depend on them to do everything, from study to communication, from shopping to entertaining. Without the Internet, the backing systems, the communications systems, in fact all key aspects closely related to peoples’ life will collapse. Life without the Internet would be terrible and simply unimaginable. .Actually, I wouldn’t mind having a life without the Internet or smartphones. Without them, I would meet my family and friends face to face and spend more quality time together. I might take up some interesting hobbies or try something new. So, without them life might become even

more colorful.
