- Critique those types using the following questions by creating an audio in pairs in
which you talk about it considering what you found out about them and your own
experience:
a. How can you compare those?
b. Under which circumstances could those types be used? Why?
c. Do you think those types of educational systems can help with the learning
process? why?
d. Which one do you prefer and why?

Fressy: Hello girls, I have a question?


Adriana: Hello, what is your question?
Kristell: Hi, yes tell us.
Fressy: What do you think about all the types about education?
Adriana: Oh, It´s a very interesting question. I think it´s great that there are different
ways to study, for example, public education that has many benefits such as it is free,
you do not have to pay for education, or also private education has excellent programs,
in the case of universities the careers are shorter.
Kristell: Mm I think that the forms of learning today are great, for example, distance
education is no longer necessary to have to go to a classroom to study or as in the case
of homeschooling, parents are responsible for the education of their sons. What do you
think Vale?
Vale: I agree with your opinions, the best of all is that there are many options so that
everyone can study with respect to their comfort or access, for example, virtual
education, today is one of the most accessible ways to study, but nevertheless it has
some disadvantages.
In addition, each method of education adapts to the different situations of people, for
example, public education is for people who prefer the traditional, private education, in
the case of people who have to work and go to university, remote study for people who
do not have time to connect or attend classes, homeschooling for parents who do not
believe in traditional education and finally virtual education was the main tool in times of
pandemic.
Adriana: Yes, it´s true. Another question? Do you think those types of educational
systems can help with the learning process? why?
Kristell: Yes, they are different methods for different types of students. Not everyone
can study through classes on a computer or through face-to-face classes. I think all
these methods help a lot in the learning process.
Vale: Yes of course, because I believe all the methods are different, then each student
can choose the one they prefer for their learning process.
Adriana: Yes, I though the same, because
Kristell: Girls, what is your favorite type of education?
Vale: Oh, I like this question, honestly, I prefer virtual education because I don't have to
travel to a specific place, I can receive classes from anywhere, I have more time to do
other things.
Adriana: I prefer private education because you receive a high-quality education, with
the benefit of smaller settings, more specialized skills, and diverse areas of focus. Also,
it has good facilities.
Kristell: Public education is free, universal, and democratic. Not all people can pay a
enrollment, a monthly payment or books to be able to study and public education offers
us this great benefit; It also provides students with scholarships to cover the needs they
require such as transportation or food. In addition, this type of education has the best
teachers on its payroll since they must go through a difficult selection process to be able
to perform in the education positions offered by the government. For all this I prefer
public education
Vale: Girls I really enjoyed the conversation, but I have to go, see you.
Adriana: Bye
Kristell: Goodbye.
