Study the words in blue in the text. Which word can "lastly” replace?

                                      Is school the best place to learn?

There are many alternatives to school, such as homeschooling or studying online. But is school the best place for young people to learn?

In my opinion, it's better to learn in school for several reasons. Firstly, in school, students often have to work together, so they learn from each other and become sociable. Secondly, school students must obey rules. This provides a structured day where students attend classes in a wide variety of subjects. They learn the importance of doing work on time and preparing for exams. This teaches them how to behave in society and future jobs. Finally, at school, students have the chance to participate in team sports and other projects that involve a group of people.

To conclude, students learn many things and in many ways at school. All in all, I think school is the best place to learn.

EDUCATION IN THE FUTURE

Education is another area of social life in which information technology is changing the way we communicate. Today's college students may not simply sit in a lecture or a library to learn about their field. Through their computers and the wonders of virtual reality they can participate

in lifelike simulated experiences. Consider the following scenario of the future of education made possible through developments in information technology.

For children over the age of 10, daily attendance at schools is not compulsory. Some of the older children attend school only once or twice weekly to get tutorial support or instruction from a teacher. For the most part, pupils are encouraged to work online from home. Students must complete a minimum number of study hours per year; however, they  may make up these hours by studying at home at times that suit their family schedule. They can log on early or late in the day and even join live classes in other countries. In order to ensure that each student is learning adequately, computer software will automatically monitor the number of hours a week each student studies on­line as well as that students' learning materials and assessment activities. Reports will be available for parents and teachers. The software can then identify the best learning activities and condition for each individual student and generate similar activities. It can also identify areas of weak achievement and produce special programs adjusted to the students' needs
Question 34. What is NOT mentioned as a benefit of information technology to the students?

A. Students can stay at home to learn.

B. Students can learn at times that suit their schedule.

C. Students' learning time won't be monitored.

D. Students' weak achievement can be identified.
