Learning technology 科技与学习

Technology nouns take their own measure word; 个 (gè) is a marks-losing default. 电脑 takes 台: 一台电脑 (yì tái diànnǎo); 手机 takes 部: 一部手机 (yí bù shǒujī); 网课 takes 节: 一节网课 (yì jié wǎngkè). ✗ 学校给每个学生一个电脑。 ✓ 学校给每个学生一台电脑。(Xuéxiào gěi měi ge xuésheng yì tái diànnǎo.) — The school gives every student a computer. Match the 量词 to the noun.

In a 比 comparison the degree word 很/非常 does NOT precede the adjective — the comparison already carries the degree. ✗ 网课比传统课很方便。 ✓ 网课比传统课方便。(Wǎngkè bǐ chuántǒng kè fāngbiàn.) — Online lessons are more convenient than traditional classes. For extra degree, add it AFTER the adjective: 网课比传统课方便得多。(Wǎngkè bǐ chuántǒng kè fāngbiàn de duō.) — much more convenient.

Weaker answers just name an app or device and call it 方便 (fāngbiàn, convenient) without weighing the PROBLEMS. Weigh both: 用手机学习虽然方便，但是容易让人分心，学习效率反而会下降。(Yòng shǒujī xuéxí suīrán fāngbiàn, dànshì róngyì ràng rén fēnxīn, xuéxí xiàolǜ fǎn'ér huì xiàjiàng.) — Although learning with a phone is convenient, it easily distracts you and study efficiency can actually drop.

In Paper 1 writing (Ex4/Ex5) pinyin earns NO credit — you must write characters. A learning-app email written in pinyin (wǒ yòng shǒujī) scores nothing for that content; it must be 我用手机 (wǒ yòng shǒujī). Pinyin is tolerated only as a substitute for a forgotten character in the LISTENING answers (tones optional there), never in writing. Draft in characters from the start.

In the extended article (Ex5), repeating the two given stimulus comments is not an argument. Add your OWN ideas, linked with connectives — 虽然……但是……, 不但……而且…… — e.g. 网课虽然方便，但是需要更强的自律能力。(Wǎngkè suīrán fāngbiàn, dànshì xūyào gèng qiáng de zìlǜ nénglì.) — convenient, but needs stronger self-discipline. Reach a justified view, do not restate the prompt.

In reading comprehension, copying a whole sentence — including irrelevant clauses — is not credited, and extra or wrong material can cancel an otherwise-correct point. Select the exact point and re-express it, e.g. condense a long app description to 这个应用程序可以马上纠正错误。(Zhège yìngyòng chéngxù kěyǐ mǎshàng jiūzhèng cuòwù.) — the app corrects mistakes immediately.

没有 normally negates possession (我没有手机, I do not have a phone), so learners misread A 没有 B 那么 + adjective as possession. Here 没有 means "not as … as", nothing is possessed. ✗ reading 网课没有面对面上课那么有效 as "does not have face-to-face lessons". ✓ 网课没有面对面上课那么有效。(Wǎngkè méiyǒu miànduìmiàn shàngkè nàme yǒuxiào.) — not as effective as face-to-face lessons. Read 没有…那么… as one unit.
