Do your think teachers are being replaced by computers? Hello, everyone! Here is my English writing and I really need your advice, no matter it is about the grammar or ideas I've used in the written work. Thank you so much. Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is quickly playing an imperative role in teaching in schools and other educational institutions. As more and more subjects can be taught via computers, there would seem to be less and less need for teachers to be present, as independent learning are encouraged with the assistance of a computer. The issue of whether teachers will be replaced by ICT is widely discussed currently by people in both the private and public sectors. It is true that self-study and autonomous learning using technology is a means of learning that can be highly effective for practice drills, the study of factual knowledge, or for pure rote memorization. For instance, computers help students solve math exercises and memorize historical facts. Additionally, online teaching on many occasions not only optimize the costs for schools by increasing teacher-student ratios, it also enables individuals to study almost anytime, anywhere, which really makes learning convenient and flexible. It would therefore seem that teachers are becoming more and more redundant. In the meantime however, crucial elements have to be took into account with regards to ICL and teaching. First and foremost, students are not supposed to be passive receptacles of theoretical knowledge and true education should not be confined to the delivery of information. It should involve the cultivation of effective learning habits and the development of group discussion skills as well, which can not be found in online courses. As a matter of fact that good teaching takes place when the learning is directly associated with our emotion. There is no doubt that only the teacher can communicate wisdom, to instill high moral values, and to encourage one to think creatively and critically. Without suggesting that the technology is entirely worthless, I believe the task of schools is to strike a wise balance between ICT and teaching. Only by further developing the way in way we manage our school and the technology, can we make sure that teachers can benefit from the inherent advantage that technology holds in the transmission of information. All in all, ICT will never replace the teacher, it will only make him or her more important.

A question about the pronunciation of English when we speak 'a cup of tea', the pronunciation can be /əˈcʌpə tiː/,right? and in the same way we may say/əˈpiːsə keik/ (a piece of cake). My question is whether we can pronounce all the 'of ' in phrases as /ə/? like ' a couple of ', ' dozens of ', ' get the hang of '. Thank you in advance.
