　　从上述题目当中，我们不难发现，教育类话题主要考察的是教育的内容、功能以及方式等，具体到教育的对象，又分为儿童、青少年和大学生。并且，现在教育与科技类的话题也成为比较热门的结合点，需要大家注意。下面我们就从一篇经济学人的文章中找找灵感，看一看还有哪些地道的表达方式。
　　1、Some people hope that the internet will revolutionise higher education, making it cheaper and more accessible to the masses. Others fear the prospect.
　　用于开头段的非常好的表达，说明了教育与科技的结合。Revolutionise:革新，V。
　　Prospect:前景，n. 另外，这句话还使用的非谓语动词making 这种表达也是非常好的。
　　2、Others argue that MOOCs (massive open online courses) are nowhere near as good as a class taught face-to-face.
　　As good as: 与…一样好，这句话还使用了taught face-to-face 这样的非谓语形式，可以去学习。
　　3、A third of those enrolled at traditional colleges took an online course as part of their degrees.
　　Enroll: 录取，这个单词在教育类中非常常用，一定要记住。
　　4、Professors in the philosophy department at San José State University wrote a letter of complaint because they were encouraged to use a popular online Harvard course, “JusticeX”, as part of their own curriculum.
　　Because 引导原因状语从句
　　Curriculum：课程，这个是教育类话题中的常用词汇。
　　5、Pre-recorded lectures and multiple-choice questions can lighten the load on lecturers.
　　Pre-recorded: 预先录好的
　　Lighten: v.照亮
