At school you have been discussing the best way to study. Your teacher has asked you to write an essay. Read the statement and write an essay discussing both views. Then give your opinion. Write between 100-120 words. Some students think the best way to prepare for a test is to study a little bit every day, while others think it is better to wait until the week before the test and study for many hours.

Nowadays all the information we could ever need is available online and some people say that means the end of having to learn anything.

It is true that these days everything you want to know is a few clicks away as long as you have internet access. However, not everyone has working internet all the time, for example in certain buildings or remote locations, so we do need to be able to remember information. Moreover, it takes time to look up everything you need to know online, whereas remembering something is immediate. The human memory is a much more efficient system.
