范文思路

论点： 支持面授课。

理由一： 老师与学生交流更加畅通无阻。

理由二： 方便学生之间展开讨论。

理由三： 老师可以随时掌控进度和教学方法。

范文文本

As technological development has made great strides, digital media have provided more opportunities for education.The popularity of online classes represents this new trend of technology in educational field.Some people hold an optimistic attitude towards this trend, while others still place much of their trust in traditional face-to-face classes.Although the Internet classes offer much convenience for education, I still prefer the traditional way of education owing to the following aspects.

First of all, having classes in the classroom is the best way for teachers and students to communicate.The online classes are easy to get access to, but students will feel it difficult to have a faceto-face conversation with teachers.In classroom, students have opportunities to express opinions or raise questions, and could get the feedback from teachers immediately.In addition, off-line classes offer more opportunities for the conversation between students and teachers.Students could make use of office-hours to further discuss the questions about this course.This real-time conversation is hard to simulate through online courses.Therefore, teaching in classroom will strengthen students’ understanding of the knowledge through convenient interaction with teachers.

观点

课堂上的交流和观点分享对同学们的学习来说是非常重要的。

Secondly, in the process of learning, sharing ideas with classmates is also an effective way to grasp the concepts and knowledge in the course.Classes in the classroom could make it possible for students to communicate with each other.By offering seminars, students will be able to discuss an issue in depth or conduct group projects together.The offline classes can achieve diverse approaches of teaching and learning by the face-to-face communication.On the Internet, however, students cannot discuss with classmates as frequently as in the off-line classes, which will decrease the opportunities for students to communicate.

Last but not the least, having classes in the classroom will be more convenient for teachers to engage students so as to deliver a worthwhile lecture.Teachers could have a better knowledge of the class through taking attendance, organizing activities and talking with students face-to-face.They could also observe the behaviors of students to improve the teaching approaches.On the Internet, however, teachers have limited chances to get close to students’ life, which will make them difficult to track students’ progress in this course.For example, suppose a student has trouble understanding a certain theorem mentioned in class.When facing students directly in a classroom, teachers can pause and answer the student’s questions regarding this theorem and can move on whenever the student finally understands it.In contrast, in a pre-recorded online class, it is impossible for students to obtain further information and explanation of this theorem from the teacher.

论据

给出一个可能的场景，对比在该场景中线上和线下课程的优缺点，得出结论支持论点。

To summarize, off-line classes have lots of benefits because of the close and immediate communication among people, which could not be replaced by online communication.In an era when Internet dominates people’s everyday communication, we still should not neglect the necessity of face-to-face teaching in class.

总结

通读本文不难发现，其实文章切入的视角只有“线下课程便于交流”这一个点，但作者把交流细分成了与老师、同学的交流，并分别进行展开，解释为什么交流对学生的学习是非常重要的。
