A pupil cannot study effectively without a computer or can he? (Сочинения ЕГЭ английский язык)

Many people tend to think that a child studying in school cannot be productive without a computer. At the same time, a lot of parents do not agree with this point of view.

As far as I am concerned, I suppose that in 2020 the computer becomes absolutely necessary at some point in school life. First and foremost, the school tasks often suppose some researches being done at home. That happens due to the fact that school does not give you 100% of the knowledge you need to receive. There is a certain amount of things to be learnt at home. Therefore, using a computer is not just a necessity but a basic need. Secondly, having a computer nowadays is required by a lot of teachers. Pupils are asked to do presentations and write essays, they are expected to be able to check a grammar rule or look up an equation on their own.

Consequently, it won’t be comfortable if they have to ask to use the parents’ computer every time. Also, not having a computer as a child can later result in a worse adaptation to society. Nowadays it is hard to imagine a young person who does not know how to search for information or how to create a Word file.

On the other hand, the rightful concern can be that pupils will be using computers not only for studying but for games, movies and browsing the Internet. Thus the money spent by parents will be going only to entertainment, not for educational purposes which can be rather alarming and disappointing. Not to mention the fact that the Internet is not always a reliable source of information. It can be challenging to distinguish fake information from real one not only for children but even for adults. The information found might be harmful to young minds.

Generally, these arguments are worth considering, but I still believe that computers are necessary. Parents can always block any sites they find not healthy and delete all the games that the child downloads. The problem of the fake information is yet to solve but the earlier we face the problem, the more possible it will be to solve it in future.

To conclude, I want to say that pupils nowadays definitely need computers for the sake of developing and successful studying.
