Why is the electric field inside the dielectric cancelling?

So, I was studying force between the plates of a capacitor when a dielectric is inserted.

Here is my question

Shouldn't it be like this picture below

So, why is my teacher saying that the electric field inside the dielectric cancelling.
So, what would be the force on a plate then?
 
on Phys.org
The reason is that the plate polarises the diaelectric and that creates the oposite field inside the other plate which cancels with the first.

But, they are in same direction
