Background Information:Online learningOnline learning, a form of distance education, refers to learning and other supportive resources that are available through a networked computer. With the development of the Internet, online learning often takes place on the Internet. In an online lesson, the computer displays material (often in web browsers) in response to a learner’s request. The computer asks the learner for more information and presents appropriate material based on the learner’s input. The material can be as simple as traditional lessons and tests that are transcribed into a computer program. The material can also be a complex system that tracks users’ input and suggests learning material as a result. Or the material can be a work session that occurs through a real time chat; learning occurs through the interaction. The material can be presented as text, graphics, animated graphics, audio, video, or a combination of these that are displayed in wed browsers or other multimedia players such as Windows Media Player.2. Pre-reading ActivitiesListen to short passage twice and answer questions1.What problems do you have in trying to learn English in your middle school?2. Do you think the computer can help you in learning English, why?3. What other things do you think we can gain through English language learning?3.

This is an example of cause and effect writing, which makes clear the reasons why something happens by showing the relation between a cause and its effect.4.
