More Students Can Use Aurora College Online

Introduction

The New South Wales government has a plan. All public high school students can now use Aurora College. This is an online school for hard subjects.

Main Body

Before, only students in small towns used this school. Now, students in big cities like Sydney can use it too. This will happen by 2027. Some schools do not have teachers for hard subjects. These subjects are Physics, Chemistry, and Math. Now, students can learn these subjects online from expert teachers. Students stay at their own local school. They see their friends and teachers there. But they take the hard classes on the computer with a real teacher.

Conclusion

Students can now study hard subjects online and stay at their local school.

πŸ’‘ The Magic of "TOO"

In the text, we see: "students in big cities like Sydney can use it too."

What does it do? We use too at the end of a sentence to say "also" or "as well."

Simple Patterns:

  • I like Math. β†’\rightarrow I like Physics too.
  • Small towns have it. β†’\rightarrow Big cities have it too.
  • She is a student. β†’\rightarrow He is a student too.

🏫 Local vs. Online

Look at how the text describes two different places. This is great for learning Opposites:

  • Local School (Physical building, friends, face-to-face) ↔\leftrightarrow Online School (Computer, internet, remote)

A2 Tip: Use these words to describe your own life!

  • "I go to a local gym."
  • "I take an online English class."
