                 About Using the computer in the

                             Classrooms.

      I think using computers in classroom is very convenient for studying. My class’s name is ESOL 4A. We go to the computer room 2 days a week. We spent a short time in there, but we learn a lot.

     In the computer room, we get more knowledge and more information. We use internet there and we do many different exercises in a short time. And also, our English knowledge improves. For example, we do many grammar, reading, writing and listening. We can practise at home also. I use dictionary own blog and many activities on the internet.

    We can easy to group studying. We created our own blogs. Our teacher helped us. I like it and I get to know all my class mates. It is very useful learning in the classroom and it is interesting also.

    We get a lot of useful but at the same time we get some disadvantage. For example, we can’t speak; sometimes we can get a back pain and laziness.
