61The following appeared in a report by the School District of Eyleria.

"Nationally, the average ratio of computers to students in kindergarten through grade 12 (K-12) is 1:5. Educators indicate that this is very good ratio. This means that across the country, all students have access to and can use computers daily in their classrooms. In Eyleria's K-12 schools, the ratio of computers to students is 1:7. This number is sufficient to ensure that all of Eyleria's students, by the time they graduate from high school, will be fully proficient in the use of computer technology. Thus, there is no reason to spend any of the schools' budget on computers or other technology in the next few years."

-----------------------------


This passage gives me a feeling that the author doesn't like computers and technology facilities. With the development of technology, government, companies and schools spend more and more money on the computer related products. Why do the author persist in the opposite decision? The reasons included couldn't stand reasoning.

First of all, in Eyleria's K-12 schools, the ratio of computers to students is 1:7, which seems not much less than 1:5, the national ratio. So the author think the computer ownership of schools is sufficient. However, it's far from the truth. If students want to study computer well, they need much practice. We could make a simple assumption. Providing that computer lab open 7 hours everyday, when 5 people share one computer, everyone have 1.4 hour, but when 7 people share one computer, everyone have only 1 hour everyday.  This difference seems small, but when this accumulate for a month (30 days), the difference is 12 hour. Another bad effect of many students sharing one computer is that you have to wait. It’s clear that the more students using one computer, the higher possibility they have to wait. This kind of experience is frustrating. Just imagine that when you have good ideas and want to carry them out on a computer, you finally find all of them are occupied. Then you have to wait in a line and pray. This situation will be more terrible at the end of one semester-the examination period. How could you expect students to be "proficient in the use of computer technology" in this poor condition?

Secondly, the author didn't notice the important roles that computers play nowadays. In fact, computers are not only useful for students but also can help schools in their work. With the help of computers, schools could have a better control of the students' information and manage their work electronically. Using computers, teachers could prepare their lessons in computers and collect more materials from Internet. In addition, with the fast development of computers, much money would be spent on update and maintain the existed computer system. So there are many reasons rather than no reasons for the school to spend more budgets on computer-related products in the next few years.

In summary, this report seems to over estimate the schools’ computer ownership condition. Although the schools' budget is limited, computers are really important product they must equip. Finally, money spend on computers will benefit both schools and students.

This passage gives me a feeling that the author doesn't like computers and technology facilities[why?]. With the development of technology, government, companies and schools spend more and more money on the computer related products. Why do the author persist in the opposite decision? The reasons included couldn't stand reasoning.[it is a strange open. i'm not sure whether it's good or not]

This difference seems small, but when this accumulate for a month (30 days), the difference is 12 hour.[here the math skill you've showed may make the Americans shudder, but I don't think it is neccessary, only one sentense can state clearely.] Another bad effect of many students sharing one computer is that you have to wait.

[only these?]
In summary, this report seems to over estimate the schools’ computer ownership condition. Although the schools' budget is limited, computers are really important product they must equip. Finally, money spend on computers will benefit both schools and students.
[perhaps you have a fresh air in the process of check this argument, but I'm not sure it's fine. maybe you can look more at the models supplied by the ETS.]

TOO LATE AND I HAVE TO GO TO BED！BYEBYE AND GOOD MORNING！HAAAAA……
