The Impact of the Internet on Learning
It is apparently depicted in the cartoon given above that while a teacher wants to give a quiz to a little boy who is holding a cell phone in his hand and says: "Once I learn how to use Google, isn't that all the education I really need?" The teacher seems to be quite embarrassed and shocked after hearing her student's naive question.
The cartoon vividly mirrors one of the problems in our lives that the Internet has exerted a great influence on people's learning. We can acquire relevant knowledge and information rapidly and precisely via search engines, professional websites and online education. However, education does not simply mean learning to obtain information. Learning basic hands-on skills, traveling with classmates, participating in social activities and fulfilling a project with our teamwork can also be effective and indispensable forms. All of these maybe can not be achieved by obtaining information from Internet alone.
Therefore, we should not ignore those traditional, essential and prevailing forms of education when we surf the web and speak highly of convenience of the Internet education in the age of information. (172 words)

互聯(lián)網(wǎng)對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)的影響
很明顯，上面這幅漫畫(huà)描繪了這樣一個(gè)場(chǎng)景：當(dāng)一個(gè)老師要給一個(gè)小男孩做隨堂測(cè)驗(yàn)時(shí)，小孩子手里拿著一部手機(jī)說(shuō)道："一旦我知道了如何使用Google，那不就是我所有需要的教育嗎?"聽(tīng)到學(xué)生這么天真的問(wèn)題，老師顯得尷尬而又驚訝。
漫畫(huà)生動(dòng)地折射了我們生活中的一個(gè)問(wèn)題：互聯(lián)網(wǎng)對(duì)我們的學(xué)習(xí)造成了巨大的影響。我們可以通過(guò)搜索引擎、專業(yè)的門(mén)戶網(wǎng)站或者在線教育快速而又精準(zhǔn)地獲得相關(guān)的知識(shí)和信息。然而，教育絕不僅僅意味著學(xué)會(huì)如何獲取信息。學(xué)習(xí)一些基礎(chǔ)的動(dòng)手能力、與同學(xué)一起出游、參加社會(huì)活動(dòng)、與團(tuán)隊(duì)共同完成一個(gè)項(xiàng)目都是教育的有效而必不可少的形式。而這些可能是通過(guò)網(wǎng)絡(luò)獲取信息這樣的教育形式所無(wú)法做到的。
因此，在這個(gè)信息時(shí)代，我們?cè)诰W(wǎng)上沖浪盛贊網(wǎng)絡(luò)教育的便利性的時(shí)候，我們不能忽視那些傳統(tǒng)的、精華的和主流的教育形式。
