Текст в новом учебнике:
1 In our modern, high-tech society and with 24-hour access to the Internet, It’s no surprise that children are using homework-help websites more and more. However, there are arguments for and against using the Internet as a homework tod.
2 First of all. we will look at how easy it is for students to find the information they need. In particular, there are many websites with high-quality school-level essays on every subject, which can be very helpful. One drawback is that It creates a temptation for students to cheat. They can ‘cut-and-paste’ answers, instead of reading and thinking about the subject for themselves. As a result they will be unprepared for exams.
3 Secondly, we must consider the quantity and quality of the information. Type in any key-word into a search engine and you will see thousands, if not millions of ‘hits’. However, few of these are reliable sources. Many are not written by experts and contain incorrect information. Therefore, students can become confused and misinformed.
4 Thirdly, we should think about how the Internet can help poorer students Their school may not be able to afford libraries or many books, but online access can reduce this problem. On the other hand, some students may not have a computer with an internet connection at home on which to do their homework. Therefore, those students who cannot afford these advantages may fall behind.
5 All in all. I think that the use of the Internet as a homework tool is a welcome and useful development. Unfortunately, though, it is not free from risks and we must bear those risks in mind if we want students to get the most from the Internet.

3 However, there are drawbacks to using the Internet as a homework tool. One drawback is that students don't use their writing skills. For example, they just copy the information which is not always well-written. Another disadvantage is that some websites not only contain poorly written material, but also inaccurate information. As a result, some students may include a lot of facts in their work which are incorrect.
