On-Line Learning
Let us say there is something you don’t know how to do. In the past if you were determined to learn, you might have called a friend or a relative, taken a night class or walked down to the local library for a research term. But now a host of websites are springing up to provide free practical advice on these subjects and actually anything else you can think of.①
In one sense, these “how-to” sites represent the growing world of on-line learning.② This tradition found one of its earliest forms in the FAQs — Frequently Asked Questions files — that began on Usenet, the Internet’s global discussion group. The FAQs, many of which still circulate (go round continuously), took a specific subject and explained it to complete novices.
But “how-to” sites take the FAQs idea in a somewhat different direction by addressing subjects that aren’t necessarily related to discussion forums. These sites take the style of a written tutorial (teaching period) and a tone of friendly advice. Possibly the biggest and best known of these sites is learn2.com (www.learn2.com). It offers nearly 1,000 free tutorials and adds new ones frequently for a job interview. At ehow.com (www.ehow.com) you can learn how to train for your first marathon, how to buy a vacation home, or how to make a movie in eight steps.

行文點評
本文按照總分結(jié)構(gòu)模式對on-line learning進行描述。以假設(shè)開頭，自然引入正文，首段指出人總會有需要學(xué)習(xí)的東西。第二段中對過去和現(xiàn)在的學(xué)習(xí)場所做了對比：以前去
圖書館，現(xiàn)在上網(wǎng)。第三段講上網(wǎng)學(xué)習(xí)的起源。第四段介紹網(wǎng)上學(xué)習(xí)的現(xiàn)狀。
本文短短200多字，對比了過去和現(xiàn)在的學(xué)習(xí)方法，并把現(xiàn)在的做法從起源到現(xiàn)狀進行清晰明了的介紹，列舉了許多實例使文章更加具有信服力，也使內(nèi)容更加完整。
好文妙譯
上網(wǎng)學(xué)習(xí)
讓我們假設(shè)有些事你不知道如何去做。在過去如果你決心要學(xué)習(xí)如何做這些事，可能會給朋友或親戚打電話，上夜�；虻疆�(dāng)?shù)貓D書館查找。但現(xiàn)在出現(xiàn)了眾多網(wǎng)站可以為這些話題、事實上能為你所想到的任何其他事情提供免費實用的建議。
從某種意義上而言，這些“技能”網(wǎng)站代表了網(wǎng)上學(xué)習(xí)的不斷發(fā)展的世界。這一傳統(tǒng)的最初形式是Usenet，即全球網(wǎng)絡(luò)討論組織最先開始使用的FAQs——即常見問題檔案。許多FAQs現(xiàn)在仍很流行，這種FAQs就某個話題向新手做解釋。
但是這些“技能”網(wǎng)站把FAQs的創(chuàng)意做了少許改動，選擇主題不一定和某個論壇有關(guān)。這些網(wǎng)站采用書面指導(dǎo)(教學(xué)時間)的形式和友好建議的口吻。也許這些網(wǎng)站中最大最有名的就是learn2.com (www.learn2.com)。這個網(wǎng)站提供近千種免費指導(dǎo)，還經(jīng)常加入新的招聘面試指南。從ehow.com ( www.ehow.com)你可以學(xué)到如何在第一次馬拉松前進行訓(xùn)練，如何購買度假別墅，如何用八步法制作電影。
