 II. WRITING

 5 online learning. You can refer to the listening and the ideas in 4.
 * Suggested answer:
 Online learning is becoming more and more popular, but it has several 
 disadvantages. Firstly, it is very difficult for students to concentrate as 
 they lack face-to-face interaction with their teachers and friends. 
 Secondly, looking at the screen constantly is harmful to students’ eyes, 
 and it causes tiredness, so it is not easy for students to work for too long. 
 Thirdly, working online needs expensive equipment, such as a computer 
 or laptop as well as Internet connection. For these reasons, I prefer going 
 to school and having offline lessons, so that I can meet my teachers and 
 friends every day. * CONSOLIDATION
