Part 2 (Paras. 4—12): Part 3 (Paras. 13—20): Text Comprehension 1. What are the advantages of using an online revision service? Feedback shows that important student needs are being satisfied by the Internet. Websites provide information, support and encouragement when parents arent around; students having difficulties in particular subjects can choose their own pace, away from the classroom, to study examples, tests and explanations on the web; students who are missing school through illness can keep up. Many students say that websites provide better resources and support in the lead-up to exams than their weaker teachers. 2. Is it possible that the internet will take the place of schools? No. Revision sites cant totally replace traditional school functions. For example, schools do more than just inform and train. Traditional schools do quite a bit in shaping the sound character of the students.
