Question

1. А. Прочитайте текст и постарайтесь догадаться о значении выделенных слов.

Computers are now essential in many areas of life — modem

banking, information technology and many others. However, this

is not true for education.

There are some subjects which may be better taught using computers. Elementary mathematics, elementary language learning,

any subject that requires a student to memorize basic facts through

repetition (повторение) is good to computer learning. The computer can be programmed to provide an endless number of simple

questions, and as the student answers these questions the facts are

learned.

However, in the learning and practice of more complex ideas,

the computer is not adequate. A computer can evaluate (оценить)

an answer as right or wrong, but it cannot determine why. It cannot

find out why a student is making mistakes, and then explain important concepts in a different way so the student will understand. Task

connected with explanation cannot be taught by computers as there

are too many variables for a computer to deal with successfully.

Thus, while computers may be useful for practising simple

skills, they are not an essential feature of modern education. Until

further developments in computers are made, the human teacher

will remain indispensable.
