次の英文を読み、各問いに答えなさい。
The rapid advancement of technology has led to significant changes in various aspects of life, particularly in education. One of the most noticeable changes is the shift from traditional classroom learning to online education. Over the past decade, online education platforms have gained popularity, allowing students to take courses from the comfort of their homes. This shift has been beneficial for students who live in remote areas or have limited access to educational resources.
However, not everyone believes that online education is the best way forward. Some critics argue that it lacks the personal interaction that in-person classes provide. They believe that face-to-face communication with teachers and classmates is essential for effective learning. Furthermore, they argue that online education may not be suitable for young students who need guidance and supervision.
Despite these criticisms, many universities are investing in online programs to reach a wider audience. Some institutions have even created hybrid models, which combine online courses with occasional in-person classes. This allows students to experience the best of both worlds – the flexibility of online learning and the engagement of in-person interaction.
