高分范文及解析
Introduction
To secure as many learning materials as possible, some deem that brick-and-mortar schools are no longer necessary since internet has well performed this task. However, I tend to think otherwise, since people engaged in distance learning may risk losing some other essential things that in-person experience can offer.
解析
老话题：有了网络，啥都能被取代?今年6月刚考过一场类似话题：Some people think travelling abroad is necessary, while others think that is not necessary because TV and the internet can give the same information. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Ø secure vt. 获得
Ø brick-and-mortar adj. 实体的
Ø risk doing…. 冒险做…
Ø in-person adj. 亲身的
Body 1
Perceivably the biggest advantage of the use of the latest technology in education is the flexibility it offers. It is now no longer essential for students to be present in the classroom for their courses. By simply clicking a mouse, they can easily access either some websites that feature renowned teachers and professors or some links to online lectures and seminars, whether domestic or overseas, without stepping a foot into a school. Besides, the distance learning facility also enables employed professionals, housewives and people from different countries to enrol and successfully finish useful courses offered by numerous institutes, regardless of the geographic distance. More importantly, COVID-19 pandemic has specifically taught us how this flexibility even could be a lifesaver. // However, this never means that schools are no longer necessary.
解析
让步-internet的好处：老生常谈了，突破空间的限制，尤其在新冠疫情当下，更是成为救星。
Ø access v. 获取
Ø feature v. 以…为特征
Ø lifesaver n. 救命的人[物]
Body 2
In effect, there are many fundamental reasons why students will be better off attending offline lessons. To start, distance learning may reduce students’ efficiency and productivity. When studying in schools, students will be motivated by both strict supervision from teachers and pressure from their counterparts. Meanwhile, teachers can better observe whether students have assimilated the knowledge so as to adjust teaching materials and progresses promptly. By stark contrast, students, especially those who lack self-discipline and easily get indulged in cosy environments, will be less efficient and productive. // Another reason is that remote learning deprives students of face-to-face interaction with classmates and teachers, which, in the long term, will render their people skills withering away.
解析
线下课堂不可取代的原因：1. 老师监督+同龄人压力=动力，并且老师可以及时观察到学生的接收状态，从而调整上课进程;2. 长期缺乏面对面交流，导致沟通能力下降
Ø be better off doing sth. 最好做某事
Ø counterpart n. 对应的人(物)
Ø assimilate vt. 吸收
Ø get indulged in 沉溺于
Ø deprive sb. of sth. 剥夺某人某物
Ø wither away 变弱;消逝
Conclusion
To recapitulate, though flexibility, be it spatially or temporally, can be offered by the internet, complete reliance on it may render students neither efficient nor productive.
解析
重申观点
Ø recapitulate v. 总结
