    两篇材料都与“在线教育”有关。第一篇材料以教育类app为例，主要陈述在线学习的便利性和普及性。第二篇材料则陈述在线教育可能存在的问题，如缺少实操和现实交流等，最后引用Professor Smith的观点，指出教育app与传统教育并不是非此即彼，而是互为补充。考生的文章可采用以下结构：
    第一段：总结两篇文章的主题，重点复述第二篇材料中Professor Smith的观点，以便与下文自己的观点作对照。
    第二、三段：表明自己赞同Professor Smith的观点，先以自身在疫情期间的在线学习为例说明在线教育具有便利性，可用于传统课堂之外，再以需要实操和现实交流的课程为例说明在线教育对比课堂教育的不足，证明在线教育无法替代课堂教育。
    第四段：总结全文，重申在线教育增加学习机会，为学习提供便利，但无法替代课堂教育，两者应相辅相成。
