a. - a definition: (Since the late 1990s internet-based teaching (also
known as e-education) has emerged as a potential rival
to traditional classroom learning)
- Explain your reason: (The reason is because the sentence explains the title of
the text)

b. - an example: (• for example, can now study a course at an American college
without the worry of travelling, accommodation or homesickness. •such as
Britain’s Open University, which have developed distance learning so
successfully in the last 40 years.)

home working on a computer may be economical, but clearly cannot replace the

go to classes, and who would clearly find internet learning beneficial.)

a. - the impact of education: (Yet education does not operate in a vacuum:

cultural, religious, legal and other factors all influence the rate of economic
growth. Soviet Russia, for example, had an advanced educational system, but
many graduates were under-employed due to the restrictions of the political
system. Similar
situations exist in many countries today because of political restraints on the
economy which prevent fast enough expansion to create sufficient jobs.)
- Explain your reason: (Because the text describes the impact or situation that
occurs from education)

b. - Discussion/example: (example, had an advanced educational system, but

many graduates were under-employed due to the restrictions of the political
system. Similar situations exist in many countries today because of political
restraints on the economy which prevent fast enough expansion to create
sufficient jobs. Clearly, development requires efficient and honest government
to encourage a dynamic economy.)
- Explain your reason: … (define your reason why you think certain sentence(s)
is the
discussion/example)
c. - Introduction – aims and overview: (At its simplest, education sets out to
teach literacy and numeracy. People who can read and count are capable of
being trained for many roles in the industrial or service sectors, as well as
learning by themselves. Even in the simplest economies, dependent on
agriculture, the education of women has been shown to lead to dramatic
improvements in family welfare. In more developed economies further skills are
required, such as languages, engineering and computing. Good education does
not merely teach people how to function passively, but provides them with the
skills to ask questions and therefore make improvements. At university level,
education is closely involved in research which leads to technical and social
advances.)
- Explain your reason: (define your reason why you think certain sentence(s) is
the
introduction)

d. Conclusion: (However, despite these considerations, education clearly has an

important part to play in developing the skills and abilities of the people.
Ultimately, they are the most important resource a country possesses, and their
education is a priority for all successful states.)
Explain your reason: … (define your reason why you think certain sentence(s)
is the
conclusion)

e. - Other factors: (This paper attempts to evaluate the importance

of these varying levels of educational provision in encouraging economic
growth, compared to other factors such as national culture, natural resources
and government. The role of education in fostering development will be
examined first, and then other factors affecting growth will be considered.)
- Explain your reason: … (define your reason why you think certain sentence(s)
is the
other factors)

f. - Introduction – definitions: (Education must be considered on several

different levels, so that today most Western countries are concerned with
provision from nursery to higher education, while developing countries attempt
to deliver basic education (e.g. reading and writing) to their people.)
- Explain your reason: … (define your reason why you think certain sentence(s)
is the
introduction)

g. - Limits of education: (It is difficult to think of a situation where education

has been the principal agent in fostering growth. For example, in the world’s
first industrial revolution, which occurred in eighteenth-century Britain, the
majority of people were still illiterate (some pioneer industrialists themselves
could not read or write). It seems that the availability of capital through the
banking system, and a secure political and legal environment were more crucial
in this case.ste)
- Explain your reason: … (define your reason why you think certain sentence(s)
is the
limits of education)
