高中三年级英语(人教版)全一册 Unit 12 Reading 2

　　Distance learning allows students the freedom to arrange their own study schedule, but the disadvantage of it is that many students tend to put off their study tasks and spend much longer on their course. Distance learners never meet the other students or teachers face to face, so they have to motivate themselves to complete projects without encouragement and advice from other people.

　　While students who attend college or university are able to acquire information from lectures, distance learners usually depend only on written materials. To be successful, distance learners have to be good readers. They must be able to analyse and absorb written texts with little help from a teacher.

　　Because distance learners are not in the academic environment of a university, they have to discipline themselves while studying. For example, students with children may be disturbed by their children from time to time. Other features of campus life that distance learners cannot experience are the lively social and sports activities. Therefore distance learning would not suit People who see further or higher education as an opportunity to make friends and have fun as well as to study.
