Essay#2, Draft#1

                       Benefit My Education with Technology  
 
    Today, technology almost covers everything. So technology is changing us in many ways like life, work, education and entertainment, etc. For me, technology has been benefiting my education.   
   
    Firstly, I can study English more conveniently with technology. English is my second language. Inspire I have ESL class, I need more practices out of class. So I download some English videos like We Are New York, and audio like VOA English in my mobile phone. I can practice any time beside class. It's very convenient for me to improve my English.   Secondly, my classmates and I can share our English writing on the blog. How to improve English writing? Unlike the traditional way that only teachers correct our writings, our teacher suggests us to post our writings on the public blog to let' s study each other. Compare with other classmates' writing, I can learn more in new words, new phases, how to make good sentences, how to build up the structure of an essay, even though their mistakes. I think that learning from others is better than learning only by yourself. It is a good way to make me get more writing skills.   
   
   Thirdly, Internet is a good teacher of my son and I. My son is 26 months. He stars to ask questions about this world. At the first time, he just asked the simple questions, such as why did I need to wear clothes? Can I play but not sleep and so on. I didn't keep them on my mind until he asked me one question one time, which was why Aunt Li shown up in the computer and said hello to me. In fact, it was an Internet long-distance video. I felt funny at the beginning, but at the second second, I realized it meant my son was growing up, and his curiosity was a good key to open the smart door. But I am imposable to answer all his questions. What's more, I couldn't use the technological words to explain despite I know the answer. I should try to tell him so easily that he could understand. So I need help from the Internet. From the Internet, I got some similar questions and answers. I pick up one simple answer to tell him, which was because both Aunt Li and we had computers. After that, if my son asks questions that I am not sure the answer, I will tell my son to give me one moment, and I need to ask Teacher Computer. Now, my son has known who Teacher Computer is, and he likes this teacher, too.      
    Thanks technology, it is changing my life now. I am sure I will get more benefit from the future's technology.
