近年来，在大作文的科技类话题中，远程学习这一子话题显然占据了很重要的地位。与之相关的，我们又能在与科技类相关的题目中看到远程工作、远程购物（网上购物）甚至远程旅游（网络观光），例如在过去的2014年就有多次相关话题的出现。

2014年9月4日： People can live and work anywhere they want to choose, because of improved communication technology and transport. Do the advantages of this development outweigh disadvantages?

2014年10月18日：It is not necessary for people to travel and learn about the culture of the other. We can learn the other culture from books, films and Internet. Do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

2014年11月22日： Online shopping is now replacing shopping in stores. Do you think it is a negative or positive development?

本文通过摘录来自BusinessDictionary.com刊登的一篇关于远程教育的文章中的10个句子，来讨论高科技环境下远程操作的种种利弊。虽然原文局限于远程的教育，但若碰到其他远程操作的问题，只需要简单地“偷梁换柱”，便可以将这些高大上的观点运用好。

1. Distance learning may enable students who are unable to attend a traditional school setting, due to disability or illness such as decreased mobility and immune system suppression, to get a good education.

远程教育可以使一些由于残疾或者疾病不能参加传统学习的孩子得到好的教育。

2. Distance learning can expand access to education and training for both general populace and businesses since its flexible scheduling structure lessens the effects of the many time-constraints imposed by personal responsibilities and commitments.

远程学习可以扩大一般民众和企业的教育和培训，因为其灵活的调度结构，减少了许多由于个人原因带来的时间限制。

3. The widespread use of computers and the internet have made distance learning easier and faster, and today virtual schools and virtual universities deliver full curricula online.

电脑和互联网的广泛使用远程学习更容易，更快，今天的虚拟学校及虚拟大学都提供在线课程。

4. Replacing teachers with computers will cause the student to have a lack of a vital skill- face –to-face interaction.

用计算机取代老师将导致学生缺乏一个重要的面对面进行互动的技能。

5. Every day, the student is just going to stare at a screen answering a question and waiting for an answer to pop up. This will inevitably cause him to lose some his EQ (emotional quotient) as he does not get to discuss and interact with teachers and other students formally.

每天，学生只是去盯着屏幕回答问题，等待弹出一个答案。这将不可避免地导致他失去了一些他的EQ（情绪商数），他没有得到与教师和其他学生进行讨论和互动的机会。

6. For men who were older or were too busy with family responsibilities, night schools were opened, such as the YMCA school in Boston that became Northeastern University.

对于老年人或者太忙的人，夜校就比较合适，如香港中华基督教青年会学校在波士顿就成为了东北大学。

7. For example, students can review their lessons more than once according to their need.

比如学生能够根据他们需要重复地听课。

8. The high cost of education effects students in higher education, to which distance education may be an alternative in order to provide some relief.

高等教育的成本比较高影响了学生的进一步教育，而远程教育将会是一个不错的选择。

9. Similar to an open schedule, blended learning allows students to complete assignments on their own time as long as they meet the deadline required for communication.

类似一个开放的时间表，混合式学习让学生根据自己的时间完成作业，只要他们在所需的期限内完成。

10. E-learning is suited to distance learning and flexible learning, but it can also be used in conjunction with face-to-face teaching, in which case the term blended learning is commonly used.

电子学习适合远距离学习和灵活的学习，但它也可以被用于连同面对面进行面对面的教学，在这种情况下，混合式学习的是常见的。
