When doing his math homework, Lu Lifei, 14, from Jiangsu, came across a problem. He couldn’t work it out. So he took out his cell phone, opened a special app and searched the problem. Answers soon appeared on the screen.
Nowadays, many students do homework with the help of the Internet like Lu. They search information online, use apps or discuss through social networks like QQ and WeChat.
“It’s convenient. You don’t have to wait or get a tutor（辅导，约束）on the spot,” Lu said. “You also learn by seeing how others work them out.”
It also improves students’ abilities, said Wang Shiying, 15, from Shanghai. And it’s especially true for new types of homework.
Wang’s Chinese teacher often asks students to give speeches on great writers. When it comes to Wang’s turn, she usually searches online, picks out certain stories and makes PowerPoint presentations.
“I’ve become adept(熟练的) at finding information online and using Microsoft Office.” Wang said.
However, this trend (趋势) also brings up problems. Some students just copy the answers online without thinking. They become lazy. Huang Pengxiang, a head teacher from Shanxi said that knowing how to use the Internet is important. The key is to have good self-control.
“No matter how difficult the problem is, think about it independently (独立地) first,” Huang said. “Be sure to understand the reasons behind the answers, or you won’t make progress. If you’re not confident about your self-control, ask your parents for help.”
