Many students have to take online classes at home because of COVID-19. ________ Some students give their own opinions.

To Zhao Yuchen, a 13-year-old girl from Beijing, the biggest headache about studying online is the poor quality(质量) of her Internet connection. During one of her online classes, she couldn’t hear her English teacher’s voice and she had to reconnect. It wasted lots of time. Since then, she has checked her network before class every day and asked other family members not to use the Internet while she was having a class.

Lin Xiyu is 14 years old. She is from Shanghai. Studying at home has made it hard for her to plan her time. She had a hard time planning her course timetable at first. Later, she knows that planning ahead and creating a study calendar(日程表) are very important. She says students need to estimate(估计) how much time each task will take, review the class content, ask questions and take notes, and make a to-do list for their homework. These are all good ways to help students learn better online.

Zhang Penghui, a 15-year-old boy from Heilongjiang believes online learning takes strong self-discipline(自律) and willpower, because there are lots of distractions(使人分心的事) while studying at home. His family like to offer him snacks and drinks, which sometimes distracts him from listening during his classes. He has asked them to stop interrupting( 打 扰 ) him while he was studying. He says a quiet room and a clean desk can help students concentrate(集中注意力).

Good morning, boys and girls. Today I’ll talk about going online.

We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet can make our lives interesting and enjoyable（令人愉快的）. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more information around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also we can send emails to our friends quickly. It can help us contact（联系）people from all over the world.

But some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the net bars all day and night. Some girls even get to have boyfriends or some boys get to have girlfriends online. They write lots of letters to each other. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more.

I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. I think we should get online with our teachers or parents.

At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon. We can play basketball or football. We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon. We can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.
