【正确答案】

We have to admit that the impact of technology on society is unquestionable. It is universally acknowledged that technology makes our life easier than before: such as online shopping, e-studying and playing online games with distant strangers. The Internet is the biggest progress we have made in technology, and with which an expanding virtual world is changing our lifestyle rapidly. The way of communication with people has changed dramatically. Computers, smartphones and other smart devices are the portals to this virtual world. In the modern society, most people cannot live without that kind of equipment. They use them to communicate with their friends, family, and even business. The virtual world communication has changed the way that people communicate. Yet, when it comes to the impact of high-tech on daily life especially interaction, views may vary from person to person.

 On the one hand, some people hold the view that living in the virtual world can enable us to enjoy the leisure time without having any burden in the real world. A shy person in real life tends to be active in the virtual world. On the other hand, the rest hold the other side of this picture. The ability of communication is a significant skill which should be cultivated if we want to survive and succeed in the world. Moreover, they claim that living in the virtual world is detrimental to interpersonal communication. Spending more and more time there is nothing but a waste of our precious time and money.

Accordingly, considering the pros and cons of this argument, I take the attitude that high-tech such as Internet game tends to be a double-edged sword. What we must do is “to absorb the essence and neglect the drawbacks” of high-tech. Only in this way can we obtain more dimensional knowledge and diverse skills. We have to admit that it is a trend that people spend more and more time in the virtual world, but we also need to be aware that through communication in the real world, mutual understanding can be promoted and fostered between people, which cannot be replaced by the virtual communication.

题目要求我们想象如果人们在虚拟世界中投入越来越多时间,并且越来越少地在现实生活中与人接 触,将会发生什么。要求300词左右,并且要提供具体的原因和例子。对于这个话题,可以从两方面来谈。 一方面,如果花费大量的时间在虚拟的世界,人们就可以享受十足的便利和自由,尤其是对于性格不那么 外向的人来说,虚拟世界的生活更容易帮助他们打开心扉。但是如果过度沉湎于虚拟的世界,长期以往就 会过度依赖这些高科技,导致缺乏人与人之间真正面对面沟通的能力,而人与人的现实接触是无法规避 的。注意结合具体的例子,防止论述过于空泛。
