“What are the advantages and disadvantages of online studying these days?”

As you know, since COVID-19 pandemic outbreaks, our activities have been done at home
including studying. Studying at home through the computer on the Internet has advantages and
disadvantages.

Studying on the Internet will make us more independent in working, studying and doing your
homework. We can have a lot of time to research, read books, and experience something new. You
can spend time learning new languages, take up a new hobby or learn how to play some
instrument. So that you can develop, practice your skills, knowledge.

But we also have a lot of disadvantages. You can’t concentrate on your lessons or you don’t have
any motivation to do your homework. Some people waste their times on games, social media or
chatting. That will make bad effect to your physical and mental health. You will have problem on
your eyes, brains or skins.
