The rise of e-learning

21 February, 2053

A new study published today shows that e-learning is more popular than ever. According to a survey, 57% of students now get degrees（學(xué)位）through e-learning, with only 43% getting degrees by attending a _______________university.

We spoke to Zhong Tai, an eighteen-year-old student from Sichuan Province who started an e-learning course last month.

“After I finished high school. I knew I wanted to continue to study.” Zhong Tai told us. “I really wanted to study economics at university, but I felt bad about _______________ my parents. My father suffers from a severe illness. He needs help moving around. He also needs someone to cook his meals and give him his medicine at the right time each day. My mother is a teacher, so she cannot help him during the day. We didn't want to hire(雇)someone to look after him. It had nothing to do with money. I just didn't feel right leaving my father with a _______________. My mum suggested I go to a university nearby and continue to live at home, but none of the universities close to my home town offer economics. Then my friend suggested I find out more about e-learning. I soon learnt that I could get a good degree without going away from home. I applied to the University of London, and they _______________ me. I started an economics course with them four weeks ago.”

Yet, though Zhong Tai is now a student at the University of London, he has never been to Britain. In fact, he has never left Sichuan.

We asked Zhong Tai whether he felt bad about missing some _______________ enjoyed by students studying on the campus, such as making new friends from different places.

“Not at all." he replied “I have made a lot of friends with people from my course online. _______________, during the evenings and weekends. I go out with my friends from high school. Since most of them also use e-learning, we all still live close to one another.”
