Nowadays, the focus of writing instruction changes from finished products to a variety skill. It means that the purpose of writhing has extended. Students have to try to make their articles become organized by planning, composing, revising, and so forth. Variety teaching plans are provided by contemporary teacher. Students can learn from the class activities of the related mode, aim, audience, and media, so that they can look into more specific points of view of the issue what they want to write about.
On the other hand, the teaching of composition has been altered by the computer in twenty-first century. Computer becomes a very important tool for teachers and students. By using computers, the internet resource can be easy to get and show to the students in class. Network resources become an important part for students while they write their compositions.
We can see the trend of teaching composition in this article. Not only writing to finish the products, but we should try to think and organize our compositions in a deeper and subtler way. The focus of writing becomes variety because we need to leap out our original limited thoughts if we want to make our writing skill become better in the twenty-first century. The society is much complicated and several problems exist many ways for us to discuss about. To get deep into the problems of the composition talk about, many materials and stimulations around the world have to be provided.
Computer and the abundant resources on the internet give us the environment to acquire the materials. It includes many resources which you might never see them before. You can research the arguments of why these people support a specific topic, while those people stand by the opposite side. By compare the two aspects, it can make you think more, and make you clear what your thoughts toward you topic really are.
Besides, using computer and projector in the class is also convenient for teacher and students to share what materials they find, and students' works can be showed to the whole class. The whole class can provide their opinions to the student, so that the student can improve his/her compositions instead of limiting his/her thoughts in a particular way.
Learning writing has multiple ways for us nowadays. In addition to just one teacher's teaching, we can find that the modern technologies provide us a useful tool to learn writing. Therefore, we can compare to the different standpoints and discuss with each other more easily. It is a good transition for us.

You explained clearly in the last paragraphs what computers function as a pedagogic helper here in a class of composition. Specific examples spice up your exam essay, They are indeed great access to find information and necessary (and maybe fashionable? )utility for teachers of composition, especially for those of language art.
After reading your essay, I think the summary part lacks examples which mentioned in the original version. I mean by putting some examples, readers can understand what it talked about more easily. And the rest of the essay, my advice is that maybe you can add “your” experience in, sharing your learning experience and at the same time, examine whether it corresponds to the methods the article mentioned.
--- With most of the ideas that had been mentioned in the original article that you were revising, you had stated your own ideas, too. You might want to change some of the tense in the article. At the end, you had pointed out most students’ problem: not knowing how to think out of the box. However, to tell the truth, I am not quite sure if the last paragraph was needed. Haha~

There are some mistakes in your article. For example, “the internet resource” maybe should be changed into “the resource on your internet”. Besides, in your fifth paragraph, the sentence “the whole class can provide their opinions to the student” can be changed into” All classmates can provide their opinions each other. These are just my advice.
After reading your article, I can’t agree with you any more. We all have to try to make their articles become organized by planning, composing, revising, and so forth. I still learn about this. And we have to accept the new ideas about how to make our composition better. We have so many materials around us that we can get.
I can easily understand what you want to express although there are still some grammar problems in this article. I think you can condense your paragraphs into fewer sections which can give the readers a clearer conception of your article.
It's excellent that you gave very clear opinions about the advantages of writing on computers and collecting internet resources. If you can add some examples about how you experience the change of writing method, the article will be more fascinating.
I think that maybe you can check your exam essay again because I find that there are some sentences that I have trouble understanding. I think maybe you can revise them to make them easier to read. Other than that, I think you did a great job on your exam essay. Keep going!
First, you should put the source of the article in the begining because it is a rule of writting summary. Second, if you can use more your experience to support your idea, it can help to make your summary clear.Sometimes, summary is too short and brife so the readers can't really understand the main point of the article. That's why we have to put the example to explain what we want to talk about.
In my personal ideas, I think we share the same way of thinking. Besides revising some grammar mistakes, putting the work cited to tell the reader where it is come from is important. With various themes, you almost cover all themes that the article mentions; I think you can choose one to develop much deeper. And in your response part, I think you should avoid repeating the same ideas the summary tells before.
You need some transitional words between the third and fourth paragraph and you do not mention the in-class discussion with classmates in your summary. You talk more about computer in the last three paragraphs. Listing some reasons why you think this is more important that other ways will help readers know why you focus on that issue.
