延伸
A web search engine is a software system that is designed to search for information on the internet.
網絡搜索引擎是專為搜索互聯網上的信息的軟件系統。
Today, let's go to the UK and see there is a suggestion saying whether it is a good idea to allow student use search engines like or in the examinations.
Mark Dawe is the head of the Oxford, Cambridge and RSA Examinations board.
Dawe claims that schoolchildren only have limited time to use the search engine during tests and that it's like using a calculator in Mathematics examination.
Very interesting topic and certainly generated a lot of discussion especially in the UK where this is being proposed.
You are gonna hear some students kinda of saying this is a cool idea. Some educators are protesting it.

No point in having exams if they can just the answers. The whole point of exams is to test retained knowledge but if they can use there's no reason to study. will just help schools produce morons instead of academics.
