本期雅思写作语料有关教育类话题，讨论主题演讲是否有教育意义。题目是：In schools and universities, lectures were used as a way to teach a large number of students. As new technology is now available for education, some people think there is no justification for lectures anymore. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 在学校，主题演讲是教授学生的主要方式，有人认为新科技的出现使主题演讲再无意义，是否同意?更多雅思写作大作文话题语料及观点，请看下文。

作家立场：主题演讲依然是教授学生的主要方式，经管科技使人们接受教育的选择更加多元化。

思路拓展：

让步段：高科技对于教育的辅助作用：(可以选择两点让步)

1. 在线教育费用较低。网络资源丰富，音频视频文件可根据学生需求自由选择，同时，教学资源可反复利用。

2. 在线学习，适应特殊群体，例如残疾学习者，忙碌企业家以及生病的学生，因为远程教育不仅仅克服了地域的障碍，也节省了往返的麻烦。

3. 远程教育提高了学习灵活性，尤其适合喜欢按照自己的节奏安排学习的学生。

反驳段：主题演讲(或者课堂教育的)的不可替代性：

1. 主题演讲营造的造良好的学习氛围是自学无法比拟的。同时，在真实课堂，老师的监督和同龄人的压力可以帮助没有自律性的学生专注于学习。相反，接受网络教育对人的自律性要求很好，网络的娱乐功能容易使人懈怠，失去学习的兴趣和耐心。

2. 课堂教育中积极的课堂互动，小组讨论，面对面的交流可以激发学习热情，提高学习效率，同时，学生可以学习如何与人交往交流，提高群体性经验。

3. 教授们不仅仅是传授知识，还能关注学生的道德教育和性格培养，启迪学生智慧，树立学生自信，这些是网络教育无法实现的。
