Mike: Hello Alex, long time no see!
Alex: Hi, it's been almost two years since we last met each other! How were you doing?
Mike: Until recently, I was frustrated that I could not meet my friends at university, but I was
able to spend more time with my family, so I was okay. By the way, how did you like the online
classes?
Alex: Personally, I did not like them. It was difficult for me to maintain my concentration at
home. Also, I could not resist the temptation of using my smartphone, because there was no
supervisor at home who checked whether I was working hard or not.
Mike: If you use your phone during class, the professor will definitely tell you off!

Alex: Another reason why I prefer in-person classes is that I can ask questions or have discussions
with my friends. In the Pre-covid-19 era, when I had questions, I went up to my friend Thomas,
one of the best students in our faculty and he taught me everything that I did not understand.
Mike: That was a huge issue for me as well. If I have questions piled up, then I am more likely
to dislike the subject and have more anxiety towards it. So, my friends and I decided to have
meetings online on a regular basis and this helped me to worry less about online learning.
Alex: That was really ( 1 ) of you, I should have done that! So, are you in favor of online learning?
Mike: Yes, although I have less face-to-face interaction with friends, I like online learning more
because I do not have to spend a lot of time commuting to school. I live far away from university
and it takes two hours for me to get here by train.

Alex: Really! I did not know that, what time do you wake up?
Mike: I usually wake up at 5 am.
Alex: That's so early! What do you do on the train?
Mike: I just do netsurfing and I do not feel that I use my time productively on the train. If we can
continue to take online classes wherever we want, we can get more flexibility in our schedules,
We won't have take the time to commute to the university to attend classes, or if we like it, we
may even be able to watch lecture videos on our phones while traveling by train.
Alex: I understand your opinion, but didn't you have any technical problems?
Mike: I only had a few. Besides, most of the professors posted recorded videos of lectures after
class. So, I watched the recordings when I missed some parts. Furthermore, I could study at my
own pace and the videos allowed me to digest what I had learned.
Alex: That's a good point, but it had an adverse effect on my learning.
Mike: How?
Alex: I started skipping my online classes because I thought I could just watch those recorded
videos later. So, just before exams, I had so many videos to watch.
Mike: Maybe, traditional classroom settings might be better for people like you.
Alex: I think so. Oh, it's time to go to class.
Mike: Oh, yeah, have a good day.
Alex: You too!
