On Internet in Our Life
The Internet has become more and more common and promised to change our life dramatically beyond emails and online shopping.
Its benefits can be well illustrated in the following aspects. In the first place, the Internet provides an easy access to all kinds of information, which contributes to relieve us of laborious work, save our time, facilitate our lives. In the second place, the Internet has extensively reached every corner of the world, thus people are connected closely. For example, an on-line conference saves businessmen the trouble of running all over the world to have a meeting. Furthermore, the Internet offers us entertainment and other ways of relaxation, such as on-line games and on-line shopping.
However, on the other hand, some people debate that it is also inconvenient and a waste of time as well as isolating us from real life only with the company of computers. Some people fix the most sophisticated computer but can't mend a pair of socks.
Yet in fact, computer reduces the distances and demolishes all boundaries. Whether computer is a blessing or a curse depends on different circumstance and the way you use it. (190 words)
結(jié)構(gòu)剖析
文章分為三段
第一段引出話題,指出互聯(lián)網(wǎng)給我們的生活帶來變化。
第二段首句為中心句,指出互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的好處有幾個方面,接著用"in the first place" "in the second place" "furthermore"分別引出三個方面的好處。
第三段作者指出一些反對互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的意見,并闡明自己的立場。
關(guān)于我們生活中的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)
互聯(lián)網(wǎng)已變得越來越普遍,并且除了電子郵件和網(wǎng)上購物,它有可能給我們的生活帶來巨大變化。
它的好處可以通過以下幾個方面得以很好地說明。首先,互聯(lián)網(wǎng)提供了便于獲取各種信息的途徑,這有利于把我們從吃力的工作中解放出來,節(jié)約我們的時間,并且為我們的生活提供便利。其次,互聯(lián)網(wǎng)廣泛遍及世界各個角落,這樣可以把人們緊緊聯(lián)結(jié)起來。比如,在線會議就省去了商人滿世界跑去參加會議的麻煩。另外,互聯(lián)網(wǎng)為我們提供了娛樂及其他放松方式,例如在線游戲和網(wǎng)上購物。
不過,從另一方面來說,有些人爭論說互聯(lián)網(wǎng)同時也不方便,浪費時間,而且只有電腦的陪伴,會使我們與現(xiàn)實生活隔離。一些人可以修理最復(fù)雜的計算機,卻不能修補一雙襪子。
然而,電腦其實縮短了距離,打破了所有的隔閡。電腦是福還是禍,有賴于不同的環(huán)境以及你如何使用它。
