Education

I am studying English through distance learning in the LINC Home Study program. It is good for people like me who do not have enough time to study because I can save the time by not commuting to school, and it is easy to access. On the other hand, it could negatively affect building people's social nature. Face-to-face classes provide extra time to talk with others and create a familiar environment. Because distance learning tends to not have these opportunities, it could have negative effects on young students. However, I believe that online education can help improve our skills because people can save time and be more focused during their lesson. Therefore, if there is a good program, I am willing to recommend it to others.
