观点表述型

Nowadays computer-aided instruction is getting more and more popular on the campus throughout the world, especially in teaching English. More and more students tend to learn English independently with the help of multimedia learning software. They claim that they have more freedom of learning whatever they like at their own pace, with both ease and care. What's more, computer-aided instruction is an original way of learning, which can arouse students' interest.

However some people believe that teachers can better help students learn knowledge and acquire skills. They argue that, for one thing, students cannot talk to machines. It goes without saying that to learn English better, students should talk to teachers and get in touch with them. For another, computers cannot supervise students, thus some students spend the precious time not on English, but on net-chatting or browsing porn websites.

As far as I am concerned, computers cannot replace teachers in English teaching because students need to contact human beings, not machines. At the same time, they should try their best to gain more from computer-assisted programs. By combining the two methods, students can learn English better.
