A- The Problem of Unemployment
B-Value of Games and Sports
Short paragraph in simple language
C-Power of Press in Democracy
D-Online Education: Boon or Bane
Online education has become very popular in recent years. It is
a boon because it allows students to learn from anywhere. This is very helpful
for those who cannot attend regular classes. Online classes provide access to
many resources like videos, presentations, and e-books. It saves time and money
spent on traveling.
However, online education can also be a bane. Some students
may not have a good internet connection or devices. They may find it hard to
focus without a teacher present. It also reduces face-to-face interaction,
which is important for developing social skills.
In conclusion, online education is useful but needs to be balanced with traditional methods to ensure all students benefit equally.
