Sir:

Greetings of love, peace and joy!

Covid-19 has brought fear, damaged to different establishments, people, business sectors, most
especially in the education of every learners. This pandemic leads every student to attend online
classes in which they need a lot of patience and nerve braking understanding with their topics or
their courses. For which they have to learn through this new mode of teaching where the
discussion is so limited.

Online classes have weaknesses and also strengths. For this online classes offers unprecedented
opportunities for people who would otherwise have limited access to education as well as a new
paradigm for educators in which dynamic courses of the highest quality can e developed. This
online classes could be participated by different learners throughout the world. Only if they have
computers or gadgets with internet connection. Every learner could open or access their accounts
24 hours a day. So, it will give more time on each learner to study their lessons at their most
convenient time. Probably, I would agree with this matter, for it allows me to study in my own
and more time reading and searching for my lessons. So, as of today I am enjoying it and it gives
me more a meaningful life for we are now on this 21 st century. With this new trend of education
no one will left behind.

Nevertheless, there is also weaknesses of this, for sometimes I cannot access the net due to weak
signal and sometimes lack of loads. We cannot deny the fact that some students don’t have
technology or gadgets which they will use in online learning. Sometimes their parents will
borrow money from friends or neighbors just to give or bought gadgets for their children. I have
also read some articles that even technology is not a 100 % reliable. Example is that when the
server crash it could cut all the participants in the online class.

This online classes should give more time to students or every learner especially in the giving
them assignments and exams. Sometimes learners don’t have such loads or have a weak signal so
they could not eat the deadline. One thing more is that if each subject gives deadlines in our
assignments and with the same target date, we could not beat them all. This will lead us to e
incompetent learners. As a recommendation, I would suggest that teachers should give us more
time in giving us task. You may say that it is only time management but I guess that we should
have more time.

Thank you very much and God speed!

Yours truly,
