    Both friends and teachers have a meaningful and necessary influence on each student. Spending more time with determines how much friends can affect the students. Also, their similar age allows them to know each other well in a short time. So I believe friends have more influence than teachers do.

    To begin with, most students spend their time with friends during school, weekend, or many years after graduating. However, they might only see their teachers during class time. Since students have more time with friends and understand each other, they might make changes for a personal opinion from friends. In contrast, students seldom spend much time interacting with teachers. Without reasons other than study, the teacher can’t know their students on a very personal level. In this case, the relationship between students and teachers is not strong enough to change students’ minds.

    Next, students and most of their friends are about the same age. Thus, they have many things in common. They can discuss homework together or play video games on weekends. During the time they spend together, friends may influence students. For example, I always play badminton with my friends. He does not only help me improve my skills but also encourages me to keep exercising. Thanks to him, I have a healthier body. Meanwhile, because of the generation gap, many teachers don’t have a similar topic to students. This situation also limits teachers’ interaction with students.

    Last, I have to admit that teachers may influence their students a lot if they have a good relationship. As adults, teachers often give valuable advice. But it is not very common for people to have a relationship beyond different ages. I still believe that the more time we spend with someone, the more they affect us. In short, I do agree that friends influence students more than teachers do.

    Nowadays, Teaching is connected with electronics so much that both teachers and students benefit from electronics. Also, Children can take advantage of using electronics to enhance their study. Therefore, I believe that modern electronics benefits educators rather than making their educating task more difficult.
    First, I think that educators will teach efficiently with electronics in today’s world. Using electronics lets students and teachers communicate with each other efficiently at home. Thus, many teachers I knew choose to assign homework or activities through emails or phone messages, and sometimes, students have to finish them online. According to what my mom said, in the past, some students often miss the best time of study after school because they could not talk with their teachers. Thanks to electronics, teachers can teach their students on time now.
    Second, online study on electronics help students improve, which makes educating less difficult. Not all students can adapt to the traditional way of learning. Moreover, online learning can be designed for a specific student, which serves as an alternative. For example, many students study online by spending time on YouTube or Google. It enables students to review or strengthen what they have learned or missed in the classes. Thus, because students can get well-prepared outside the classroom, spending time on electronics makes educating children easier.
    Yet, someone may argue that spending too much time on electronics damages children’s eyes and causes children addicted to the internet. To protect children, teachers need to spend more time preventing students from using the internet. But I maintain that we can solve addiction of using the Internet by regulating children’s using time on the Internet. As long as we make a thorough restriction on electronics, the harm of spending so much time on electronics can be resolved.

    I very much disagree with the following statement. I believe that modern electronics benefits educators rather than making their educating task more difficult. Children can also take advantage of using electronics to enhance their study. Thus, I have the following reasons to support my view.

    First, I think that educators will teach inefficiently without electronics in today’s world. Many professors assign homework or activities through emails or phone messages, and sometimes, students have to finish them online. The students need to check their electronics from time to time. In this case, it is not convenient enough for teachers and students to communicate with each other during the school break. Because of different conditions today, it easier to educate children because we spend time on electronics.

    Second, I find that many students study online by spending time on YouTube or Google. The old traditional way of studying may not be suitable for a few students. Instead, online learning can be designed for any specific student. It enables students to be well-prepared out of classes. Also, the advantage of online learning can help students review or strengthen the pivotal knowledge. Overall, it is much easier for a teacher to educate them than in the past.

    Yet, someone may argue that spending so much time on electronics damage children eyes and cause children addicted to the internet. To protect children, teachers need to spend more time preventing them from the internet. But I maintain the view that we can solve it by regulating the electronic using time for children. As long as we make a thorough restriction on electronics, the harm of spending so much time on electronics can be resolved.
