It is evident that the percentage of the students taking on-site classes has seen a remarkable drop from 76% in 2018 to 44% in 2000. The proportion of the students who take on-line classes, in stark contrast, has experienced a noticeable shift, increasing from 24% in 2018 to 56% of total in 2020.
With regard to the above phenomenon, it is of no difficult job to find out the behind factors. First and foremost, it was reported that most colleges chose to take on-line classes during the pandemic in case of the spread and infection of the virus. As a result, a large number of college students have to take classes through network this year. Besides, with the advance of students’ family financial situations and the support of grant policies, a growing number of college students can afford digital devices like mobile phones and laptops, which has provided the basic condition for them to attend on-line classes.
Also noteworthy is the fact that this circumstance is a profound one that reflects the diversity in not only the way of taking classes but also the means of modern education, which is beneficial for its future development.
范文译文
从图中可以看出，2018年到2020年，某高校学生的上课方式发生了一些引人注目的变化，学生在现场上课的比例从2018年的76%显著下降到2020年的44%，与之形成鲜明对比的是，线上上课的学生比例经历了明显的转变，从2018年的24%增加到2020年的56%。
对于上述现象，我们并不难找出其背后的原因。首先且最重要的是，据报道，大多数大学在疫情期间选择了在线课程，以防病毒传播以及感染。因此，今年有大量的大学生不得不通过网络上课。此外，随着学生家庭经济状况的改善和助学金政策的支持，越来越多的大学生能够负担得起手机、笔记本电脑等数码设备，这为他们参与网络课程提供了基本条件。
值得注意的是，这种情况意义深刻，它不仅反映了上课方式的多样性，而且反映了现代教育形式的多样性，这有利于现代教育的未来发展。
