My Online Learning Experiences
I am a middle school student. My life changed after I started using the internet to help with my study.
First, I explore online learning in many ways. I take online English courses every weekend and watch science videos to learn more about nature. I also read e-books in the school library app when I don’t have my paper books with me. What’s more, the internet helps me get lots of useful information. I search for facts about animals for my biology projects and read news about environmental protection. Sometimes, I even learn about the latest space discoveries online. Besides, I use the internet to communicate with others. I ask my teachers questions via WeChat when I’m stuck on homework, and I join an online English corner to practice speaking with students from other cities. I even have a pen pal from Canada, and we chat online about our school life.
The internet opens the door to a new world for me too. It helps me learn more and connect with more people. I know I should use it in a proper way to make my study better and not waste time on unimportant things.
