On-Line Learning
Let us say there is something you don＇t know how to do.
In the past if you were determined to learn,you might have called a friend or a relative, taken a
night class or walked down to the local library for a research term. But now a host of websitos are sprinoing up to provide free practical advice on these subjects and actually anything else you can think of.
In one sense, these "how-to" sites represent the growing world of on-line loarnino. This tradition found one of its earliest forms in the FAGsFrequently Asked Questions files that began on Usenet, the Internet＇s global discussion group.The FAGs, many of which still circulate (go round continuous-ly), took a specific subject and explained it to complete novices.
But "how-to" sites take the FAQs idea in a somewhat different direction by addressing subjects that aren＇t necessarily related to discussion forums. These sites take the style of a written tutorial (teaching period) and a tone of friendly advice.It offers nearly 1,000 free tutorials and adds new ones frequently for a job interview. At you can learn how to train for your first marathon, how to buy a vacation home, or how to make a movie in eight steps.
上網學習
讓我們假設有些事你不知道如何去做。
在過去如果你決心要學習如何做這些事，可能會給朋友或親戚打電話，上夜校或走到當地圖書館查找。但現在出現了眾多網站可以為這些話題，事實上能為你所想到的任何其他事情提供免費實用的建議。
從某種意義上而言，這些“技能”網站代表了網上學習的不斷發展的世界。這一傳統最初的.形式是Usenet，即全球網絡討論組織，最先開始使用的FAQs…—即常見問題檔案。許多FAQs現在仍很流行，這種FAQs就某個話題向新手做解釋。
但是這些“技能”網站把FAQs想法做了少許改動，選擇主題不一定和某個論壇關。這些網站采用書面指導(教學時間)的形式和友好建議的口吻。你可以學到如何在第一次馬拉松前進行訓練，如何購買度假別墅，如何用八步法制作電影。
