I laughed so hard ___(24)___ the monkey got scared and jumped into the tree, dropping my sunglasses to the ground. When I had finished laughing, I wiped the tears from my eyes and went to ___(25)___ my sunglasses from the floor. They have a small scratch on them, but I don’t mind.

I will see you soon!
Love,
Linh

THE FUTURE OF ONLINE LEARNING
The coronavirus pandemic brought big changes into our lives, especially in the education system. As the pandemic lightened, many schools and universities predicted that e-learning would still be very beneficial in the future. Post-pandemic, we are now entering a new era — the revolution of online education. At the start of the pandemic, teachers and lecturers moved their lessons from in-person to virtual classrooms, teaching over platforms such as Zoom. Now, educational institutions can move beyond this. They will build more useful e-learning platforms that will meet the needs of students across the world to have more flexibility in their tertiary education. Students will be able to attend lessons at different times and in different formats that will suit their particular lifestyles. Many young learners and teenagers will have the option to learn new skills or a difficult school subject. Students will learn in their own time and at their own pace. Not only is e-learning more accessible, but it is more affordable. Students only need to pay for their course. There are no added expenses such as transport costs, materials or stationery. However, there are groups of people who can’t make use of this form of education. First, those who are in underdeveloped areas may have difficulty learning online. This can be due to the lack of technological devices to support computerized learning. Second, students pursuing top-notch university programs are likely to opt for the traditional form because the range of online courses for official Bachelor’s degrees can be limited. While e-learning certainly cannot fully replace traditional classroom learning, it is an excellent option for children and adults wanting to further their skills and knowledge without going anywhere.
