Suggestion.
I disagree with the idea that with the help of technology , students will
benefit greatly from studying by themselves at home.
Firstly, Many students will be lazy, they will spend almost time on playing
games instead of learning.
Secondly , Students can find information on the Internet easily but they
can't understand all information and they won't know that information is
correct or incorrect.
Finally, Students need the teacher to explain what they don't understand,
the teacher will give them some advice to improve their studies.
In short, technology have many benefits but they may not improve the
quality of our studies.

Suggestion. 
I agree with idea advanced technology will help students greatly in studying by
themselves at home.
Firstly, studying at home will help us save so much money. We don't have to buy
so many books and school supplies. It will help us save time and energy too
because we don't have to spend much time on travelling to school.
Secondly, you can see there is a lot of traffic on the way especially in rush hours.
There are always accidents on the road. Studying at home will help us avoid
dangers on the way to school and make traffic less heavy.
Finally, we can search for information easily and quickly with a tablet. It's very
convenient. It helps us to save time and we can finish our projects quicker and
make them more informative.
In conclusion, I think advanced technology really helps us in studying and it brings
us more joy in learning new knowledge.
