Parts of an essay.

Nowadays, some people think that the online education is better than the traditional education and has so many benefits. These people can use technological devices such as computers, tablets, cell phones and laptops. This is a real problem because other people think that the traditional education is irreplaceable and is the most effective. On the one hand, a lot of people consider that online education is the most accessible. The main reason for this is these people can study from their houses and they can feel more comfortable. Furthermore, they can study and work without worrying for the time. Another reason is that these people think that online education is not expensive because they do not need to spend money to go to the school, university or the place they study. On the other hand, some people feel that face-to-face education is the best. They believe that this is very important to learn better because you can ask your questions to the teacher directly. Besides, they say that study face-to-face help to be more sociable. In face-to-face education, you can make some friends and you can interact with your classmates. The online education could be difficult to some people that cannot use technology. Also, these people make the daily effort to go to school. To sum up, I personally feel that the online education is better because we can study from our house, in our technological devices. Besides this, we can save money to other things such as food, clothes and travels.
