　　 Directions:For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Keeping Pets.You should write at least 150 words,and you should base your composition on the outline(given in Chinese)below:

　　 1.有些人贊成養(yǎng)寵物。

　　 2.另外一些人反對(duì)養(yǎng)寵物。

　　 3.我的看法。

　　 解析

　　 該題屬于典型的“對(duì)立觀點(diǎn)型”作文,完全可以按照前一節(jié)對(duì)于第一種題型的講解來寫。只不過最后一段除了前面講過的“平分秋色法”之外,還可以用只贊同一種觀點(diǎn)的寫法,如下面范文所示。

　　 范文

　　 Keeping Pets

　　 There is no denying the fact that keeping pets is a controversial topic.People's opinions differ sharply on this issue.Some hold the positive view.They say that pets like cats,dogs and birds can reduce,to some extent,loneliness for people,especially for senior citizens,the single,housewives and the disabled.Without pets,these people's life would become dull and cheerless.Besides,they assert that keeping pets can cultivate people's positive feelings toward nature and other species.

　　 Others,however,hold the opposite view.They maintain that keeping pets should be banned.They point out that pets are responsible for noises,which disturb people's rest,and for injuries suffered both by the people who keep them and by innocent neighbors.They also argue that keeping pets is a waste of money and resources.

　　 Personally,I believe that we should not go to extremes.On the one hand,we should allow people to keep pets;on the other hand,we should take measures to solve the problems caused by pets.For instance,pets should be prevented from making too much noise or polluting the environment.In addition,large and dangerous pets should be restricted to special areas.

　　 或:Weighing the arguments of both sides,I am inclined to agree with the latter.Anyway,we can lessen our loneliness and express our love toward animals in other ways.And it is my belief that only by placing man and other species on an equal basis can we expect to have a lively and colorful world.

　　 譯文

　　 養(yǎng)寵物

　　 不容否認(rèn),養(yǎng)寵物是個(gè)很有爭(zhēng)議的話題。人們對(duì)這一問題的看法差別很大。一些人持贊成觀點(diǎn)。他們認(rèn)為,貓、狗、鳥等寵物可以在一定程度上減輕人們的寂寞感,對(duì)于老年人、單身者、家庭主婦和殘疾人來說,尤其如此。沒有了寵物,這些人的生活就會(huì)枯燥無味。另外,他們還認(rèn)為,養(yǎng)寵物可以培養(yǎng)人們對(duì)于自然和其他物種的積極情感。

　　 然而,另一些人持相反觀點(diǎn)。他們認(rèn)為應(yīng)該禁止養(yǎng)寵物。他們指出,寵物制造噪音,干擾了人們的休息,寵物還會(huì)給養(yǎng)寵物的人以及無辜的鄰居造成人身傷害。他們還認(rèn)為養(yǎng)寵物是在浪費(fèi)錢和資源。

　　 就我而言,我認(rèn)為我們不應(yīng)該走極端。一方面,我們應(yīng)該允許人們養(yǎng)寵物;另一方面,我們也應(yīng)該采取措施解決寵物造成的問題。比如,應(yīng)該防止寵物制造太多的噪音或污染環(huán)境。另外,養(yǎng)大型、危險(xiǎn)的寵物應(yīng)該限制在某些地區(qū)。

　　 或:權(quán)衡雙方的觀點(diǎn),我傾向于贊同后者。不管怎么說,我們可以通過其他方式來減少寂寞感和表達(dá)對(duì)動(dòng)物的關(guān)愛。而且,我認(rèn)為,只有把人和其他物種放在一個(gè)平等的基礎(chǔ)上我們才能期待擁有一個(gè)生機(jī)勃勃、豐富多彩的世界。

　　 Directions:For this part you are to write a short essay entitled My View on Plastic Surgery.You should write 160~200 words following the outline given below.

　　 In recent years,there has been much debate over plastic surgery.What is your view?

　　 1.In the first paragraph,state your main idea.

　　 2.In the second paragraph,support your view with specific examples or reasons.

　　 3.In the third paragraph,bring your composition to a natural conclusion.

　　 解析

　　 該題與“對(duì)立觀點(diǎn)型”比較相似,但有較大不同。前述“對(duì)立觀點(diǎn)型”作文大約三分之二的篇幅用于描述其他人的觀點(diǎn),而自己的觀點(diǎn)約只占三分之一。但這道題明確指出第一段即點(diǎn)明作者的觀點(diǎn),中間段說明原因或例證,最后總結(jié)。其實(shí)可以命名為“單一觀點(diǎn)型”。當(dāng)然,在語言方面可以大致與“對(duì)立觀點(diǎn)型”一致,所以也不必過于擔(dān)心。

　　 范文

　　 My View on Plastic Surgery

　　 There is no denying the fact that plastic surgery is a controversial topic.People's opinions differ sharply on this issue.Some hold the positive view.They say that it is a way to pursue beauty.Others,however,hold the opposite view.They maintain that it is a waste of money and resources.Personally,I am inclined to agree with the latter,and I base my position on the following reasons.

　　 In the first place,I deem that physical appearances are always of less great importance than inner beauty and practical ability.There is rarely any recruiter enrolling a prospective employee merely according to her or his appearance;in the same way,it is hard to imagine a man laying more emphasis on the face than other aspects of a future wife.In the second place,I am definitely opposed to the concept that there is an established norm of beauty.Instead,I hold that beauty,even in the physical sense,manifests itself in varied ways.There is absolutely no need for every person to have his or her facial features changed to conform to a so?called standard.Last but not least,as is well known,plastic surgery can be very dangerous,resulting in some irreversible injuries.

　　 To sum up,I am of the opinion that plastic surgery is unnecessary.We should focus more on our inner world and try to attract others with our personality and wisdom.

　　 譯文

　　 我對(duì)整容手術(shù)的看法

　　 不容否認(rèn),整容手術(shù)是個(gè)很有爭(zhēng)議的話題。對(duì)于這一問題人們的觀點(diǎn)差別很大。一些人持贊成觀點(diǎn)。他們說這是一種追求美的方式。然而,另一些人持相反觀點(diǎn)。他們認(rèn)為這是在浪費(fèi)錢和資源。就我而言,我傾向于贊同后者。我的觀點(diǎn)基于以下理由。

　　 首先,我認(rèn)為外在美總是不如內(nèi)在美和實(shí)際能力重要。很少有哪位招聘者只根據(jù)外表來錄取未來的雇員;同樣,也很難想象一個(gè)男人更強(qiáng)調(diào)未來妻子的臉蛋而不是其他方面。其次,我堅(jiān)決反對(duì)那種認(rèn)為美有固定形式的觀念。相反,我認(rèn)為美,即使是外在美,也有多種體現(xiàn)形式。絕對(duì)沒有必要讓每個(gè)人都改變面部特征以使之符合一個(gè)所謂的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。最后,眾所周知,整容手術(shù)可能很危險(xiǎn),造成一些不可逆轉(zhuǎn)的傷害。

　　 總而言之,我認(rèn)為做整容手術(shù)是不必要的。我們應(yīng)該更多關(guān)注我們的內(nèi)心世界,努力地用我們的人格和智慧來吸引別人。

　　 Directions:For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Food Safety.You should write at least 150 words,and base your composition on the outline(given in Chinese)below:

　　 1.食品安全成為我們面臨的一個(gè)嚴(yán)重問題。

　　 2.產(chǎn)生這一問題的原因。

　　 3.如何解決這一問題。

　　 解析

　　 該題屬于典型的“解決問題型”作文,完全可以按照前一節(jié)對(duì)于這種題型的講解寫作。只不過要注意,本題的第二段是要求分析原因而不是危害。

　　 范文

　　 Food Safety

　　 No one could have failed to notice the fact that food safety is a grave problem with which we are confronted.Reports are often heard upon food products of bad quality.The most notable instances might be the notorious San Lu milk powder,swill?cooked dirty oil and the so?called “l(fā)ean meat powder”.Actually,the problem is so widespread that it has severely affected people's health and hindered the development of economy.

　　 A number of factors could account for the problem,but poor supervision and law enforcement might be the leading reasons.Actually,we do have such departments as the bureau of food safety supervision and administration and the bureau of industry and commerce in various levels of the government,but they are not really functioning or fulfilling their duties.

　　 In view of the seriousness of the problem,effective measures must be taken before things get worse.First,it is high time that pertinent laws and regulations were worked out and rigidly enforced to crack down on any production and sale of substandard food products.Meanwhile,inactive and incompetent civil servants should be immediately purged from the team of food safety supervisors and administrators.Only with these measures taken can we expect a bright future.

　　 譯文

　　 食品安全

　　 人們幾乎都會(huì)注意到,食品安全是我們面臨的一個(gè)嚴(yán)峻問題。我們經(jīng)常聽到關(guān)于劣質(zhì)食品的報(bào)道。最典型的例子可能是臭名昭著的三鹿奶粉事件、地溝油和所謂的“瘦肉精”。事實(shí)上食品安全問題廣泛存在,嚴(yán)重影響了人們的健康,阻礙了經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展。

　　 很多因素可以解釋這一問題,但監(jiān)督和執(zhí)法不力可能是主要原因。事實(shí)上,我們各級(jí)政府的確有食品安全監(jiān)督管理局和工商局這樣的部門,但是它們并未充分發(fā)揮功用或履行職責(zé)。

　　 鑒于問題的嚴(yán)重性,我們必須采取有效措施防止情況惡化。首先,必須馬上制定并且嚴(yán)格執(zhí)行相關(guān)的法律法規(guī)來打擊一切生產(chǎn)和銷售劣質(zhì)食品的行為。同時(shí),不作為或不稱職的公務(wù)人員必須被立即清除出食品安全監(jiān)督和管理者的隊(duì)伍。只有采取了這些措施,我們才能期待一個(gè)光明的未來。

　　 Directions:For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition by commenting on the saying A Curse Can Be a Blessing in Disguise.You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

　　 解析

　　 該題雖然沒有給出明確提綱,但稍微分析就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn),要寫的話題是諺語警句,因此完全可以按照前一節(jié)對(duì)于這種題型的講解來寫。

　　 范文

　　 An age?old proverb says that “A curse can be a blessing in disguise,” by which is meant that a positive state of mind is crucial in our life.To put it in another way,one should believe that unfavorable conditions can one day prove to be favorable ones rather than be indulged in depression after meeting setbacks.

　　 Actually,history abounds with examples to prove the truth of this saying.Taking a look around,we can also find examples too many to enumerate.Here I can think of no better illustration of the proverb than the experience of my own.Though performing well enough in the college entrance exam,I was only admitted by a third?class university.However,I did not lose my heart.Instead,I found the remoteness and quietness of the campus a favorable condition for my study.In terms of English,I have passed CET?4 with a high score.Now I believe I can do the same with my CET?6.

　　 Bringing what has been discussed into a conclusion,we may say that optimism is vital if we want to make achievements in our studies or work,or indeed in any other aspect of our lives.So,one should not complain too much about his or her sufferings.Instead,he or she should seek opportunities and turn adversities into favorable conditions.In a word,we should truly understand the profound meaning of the proverb and take the right actions in our life in the future.

　　 譯文

　　 一句古老的名言說“禍兮福所倚”,意思是,積極的心態(tài)在我們的生活中是至關(guān)重要的。換句話說,我們應(yīng)該相信不利條件有朝一日是會(huì)變成有利條件的,而

　　 不應(yīng)該在遭遇挫折之后一蹶不振。

　　 事實(shí)上,歷史上有很多例子來證明這句話的道理。即使我們看看周圍也能發(fā)現(xiàn)這樣的例子不勝枚舉。在這里,我想不到比我自己的經(jīng)歷更好的例子了。盡管我高考成績(jī)很好,卻只被一所三流的大學(xué)錄取了。然而,我并沒有失去信心。相反,我發(fā)現(xiàn)這座校園的偏遠(yuǎn)和安靜對(duì)我的學(xué)習(xí)來說是一個(gè)有利條件。就英語而言,我以高分通過了四級(jí)考試?，F(xiàn)在,我相信我也會(huì)以高分通過六級(jí)考試的。

　　 綜上所述,我們可以說,如果我們想在學(xué)習(xí)、工作乃至生活任何其他方面取得成就,樂觀精神都是很重要的。所以,我們不應(yīng)該對(duì)自己的苦難抱怨太多。相反,我們應(yīng)該尋找機(jī)遇,將逆境變?yōu)轫樉?。?jiǎn)而言之,我們應(yīng)該真正理解這一諺語的深刻含義,在未來的生活中采取正確的行動(dòng)。

　　 Directions:In this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition of no less than 150 words on The Increase in the Number of Students Attending Graduate Entrance Exams.Study the following chart carefully and base your composition on the outline given below.

　　 1.Describe the changes in the number of students attending graduate entrance exams in University X in the past decade.

　　 2.Give possible reasons for the changes.

　　 3.State your own choice.

　　 解析

　　 該題屬于典型的“圖表型”作文,基本可以按照前一節(jié)對(duì)于該題型的講解寫作。只不過要注意,該題第三段是要求寫自己的選擇,而不是對(duì)圖表反映的現(xiàn)象進(jìn)行總結(jié)。

　　 范文

　　 The Increase in the Number of Students Attending Graduate Entrance Exams

　　 It can be seen from the chart that there have been sharp increases in the number of students attending graduate entrance exams in University X in the first decade of this century.As the chart shows,the year 2000 witnessed only 1,382 students taking part in the exams.In 2005,the number soared to nearly three thousand.In 2010,far more people prepared themselves for graduate study.

　　 A number of factors could account for the change in the chart,but the following might be the critical ones.First,due to the spreading financial crisis and economic recession in the last few years of the decade,the number of job vacancies has been on a sharp decline.Secondly,as a result of expanded enrollments in many colleges and universities,the number of graduates has rocketed in China,which adds to the fierceness of competition in the job market.Last but not least,relevant state policies and the boom of higher education provide students with more opportunities to go after higher degrees.

　　 Personally,I would not pursue graduate study right upon graduation from college.The main reason is that I have not made up my mind on the field to major in.But I really deem it necessary for me to secure a master degree.So I would set my goal while I am working.

　　 譯文

　　 考研學(xué)生人數(shù)的增長(zhǎng)

　　 從圖表中可以看出,在本世紀(jì)的第一個(gè)十年中, X大學(xué)參加研究生入學(xué)考試的學(xué)生人數(shù)急劇增加。如圖表所示,2000年只有1382名學(xué)生參加考試。 2005年,這個(gè)數(shù)字上升到近3000人。 2010年則有更多的人準(zhǔn)備讀研。

　　 許多因素可以解釋圖表中反映的變化,但下面的幾點(diǎn)可能是關(guān)鍵因素。首先,由于發(fā)生在這一年代最后幾年的金融危機(jī)和經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退的不斷蔓延,空缺職位的數(shù)量一直在急劇下降。其次,由于許多高校擴(kuò)大招生,中國(guó)大學(xué)畢業(yè)生人數(shù)急劇上升,這增加了就業(yè)市場(chǎng)中競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的激烈程度。最后但同樣重要的是,國(guó)家的有關(guān)政策和高等教育的蓬勃發(fā)展給學(xué)生提供了更多追求更高學(xué)位的機(jī)會(huì)。

　　 就我個(gè)人而言,我不會(huì)大學(xué)畢業(yè)后馬上讀研。最主要的原因是我還沒有決定我的主要研究領(lǐng)域,但我確實(shí)認(rèn)為我有必要取得碩士學(xué)位。所以,我會(huì)在工作過程中確立自己的目標(biāo)。

　　 Directions:For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the following picture.Your essay should start with a brief description of the picture.You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

　　 解析

　　 該題屬于“圖畫型”作文,而且屬于其中的“解決問題型”,基本可以按照前一節(jié)對(duì)于該題型的講解寫作。

　　 范文

　　 This is a wittily designed and thought?provoking piece of drawing.As is depicted,a miner is digging inside the earth.Obviously,he is exploring or mining for coal.The earth has become hollow as a result of the digging.The skyscrapers are about to collapse into inside the planet.

　　 Simple as the drawing is,the message it conveys is profound and far?reaching.Obviously,it is meant to reveal the fact that human beings are running into an energy crisis.Actually,almost no one could have failed to notice the phenomenon.Taking a look around,we can find examples too numerous to list.Reports are often heard upon the shortage of such energy as coal,oil and natural gas.A number of factors may have led to the crisis,but the following are some critical ones.For one thing,those fossil fuels are limited in reserves,which puts a strain on their supply.For another,with the population explosion and development of modern society,the demand for energy has been soaring.

　　 In view of the seriousness of the situation,effective measures must be taken before things get worse.On the one hand,it is high time that people all over the world realized the energy crisis and economized on the use of it.On the other hand,scientific researchers should be encouraged to work out efficient methods of saving fuels and to seek new sources of energy.Only with these measures taken can we expect a brighter future.

　　 譯文

　　 這是一幅設(shè)計(jì)得很巧妙而且發(fā)人深省的圖畫。如圖所繪,一位礦工正在地球內(nèi)部挖掘。很明顯,他在勘探或開采煤炭。地球已經(jīng)被挖空了。那些摩天大廈即將陷進(jìn)地球內(nèi)部。

　　 盡管這幅畫很簡(jiǎn)單,但它傳達(dá)的寓意卻很深刻。很明顯,它旨在是揭示人類正陷入能源危機(jī)這一事實(shí)。事實(shí)上,幾乎每個(gè)人都會(huì)注意到這一現(xiàn)象?？纯粗車?我們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這樣的例子不勝枚舉。我們經(jīng)常聽到有關(guān)煤、石油、天然氣等能源短缺的報(bào)道。很多因素可能導(dǎo)致了這一危機(jī),但以下幾點(diǎn)是決定性的。其一,這些化石燃料儲(chǔ)量有限,因而供應(yīng)也緊張。其二,隨著人口爆炸和現(xiàn)代社會(huì)的發(fā)展,對(duì)能源的需求一直在猛增。

　　 鑒于形勢(shì)的嚴(yán)峻性,必須采取有效措施,防止情況惡化。一方面,世界各地的人們必須立即意識(shí)到能源危機(jī)并節(jié)約使用能源。另一方面,應(yīng)該鼓勵(lì)科研人員研發(fā)出有效的方法來節(jié)約能源和開發(fā)新的能源。只有采取了這些措施,我們才能期待一個(gè)更光明的未來。

　　 Directions:Read the story in Chinese below,and then write a composition of 160~200 words under the title of The Goal of Life.Your composition should be based on the story and the following outline.

　　 1.What have you learned from the story?

　　 2.What is the goal of your life?If you have achieved the goal of your life,what would you do?

　　 目標(biāo)

　　 在英國(guó)有一位殘疾青年,他的雙腿走起路來很困難,卻憑著堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的信念和毅力創(chuàng)造了一次又一次的壯舉:他19歲時(shí)登上了世界最高峰珠穆朗瑪峰;21歲時(shí)登上了阿爾卑斯山;22歲時(shí)登上了乞力馬扎羅山,28歲前他登上了世界上所有著名的高山。然而,就在28歲這一年他自殺了。原來在他11歲時(shí),他父母在攀登乞力馬扎羅山時(shí)不幸遭遇雪崩雙雙遇難。他的父母臨行前給他留下了遺囑,希望他能像父母一樣,登上世界上所有著名的高山。這位殘疾青年把父母的遺囑作為他人生奮斗的目標(biāo),當(dāng)全部目標(biāo)都實(shí)現(xiàn)了的時(shí)候,他感到前所未有的無奈和絕望。他留下遺言:“如今,功成名就的我感到無事可做了,我沒有了新的目標(biāo)……”

　　 解析

　　 該題屬于大綱中所說的“情景作文”,雖然以往尚未考查過,但必須防備。不過就寫法而言,很大程度上可以參考圖畫作文。

　　 范文

　　 The Goal of Life

　　 This is a simple but meaningful story.As it goes,a disabled young man managed to reach the peak of every famous high mountain in the world before he was 28.He did all this just as his parents told him to do in their will.But the young man committed suicide in the end and his last words were:“now I have nothing to do with all my goals achieved and my fame well established.I have no new goals.”

　　 Simple as the story is,the message it conveys is profound and far?reaching.Obviously,it is meant to tell us that one should have his own pursuits rather than follow others blindly and that one should keep working for greater achievements.This story is especially thought?provoking when we think of similar examples around us.Some people,after making a fortune,feel empty and dull,resorting to drug abuse or other low styles of life.Besides,many young people drift with the tide because they are in lack of lofty ideals.

　　 As far as I am concerned,I would like to devote myself to any cause that is beneficial to mankind.My short?term goal is to learn about environmental protection and find a job in this field.And I believe this is a meaningful career,which is worth my life?long efforts.I will keep finding and attaining new goals in this field.

　　 譯文

　　 活的目標(biāo)

　　 這是一則簡(jiǎn)單而有寓意的故事。如其所述,一位殘疾的年輕人在28歲前成功登上了世界上所有著名的高山。這一切都是他按照父母的遺囑所做的。但這位年輕人最后卻自殺了,臨死的時(shí)候他說:“現(xiàn)在我功成名就,無事可做了。我沒有了新的目標(biāo)。”

　　 盡管這個(gè)故事很簡(jiǎn)單,但它傳達(dá)的寓意卻很深刻。很明顯,它旨在告訴我們一個(gè)人應(yīng)該有自己的追求,而不應(yīng)該盲目地跟隨別人,而且一個(gè)人應(yīng)該不斷地努力,取得更大的成就。當(dāng)我們想到周圍類似的例子時(shí),這個(gè)故事就尤其發(fā)人深省。有些人在掙了大錢之后就感到空虛無聊,結(jié)果去吸毒或形成其他低級(jí)的生活方式。另外,很多年輕人因?yàn)槿狈h(yuǎn)大目標(biāo)而隨波逐流。

　　 就我而言,我愿意投身于任何有益于人類的事業(yè)中。我的近期目標(biāo)是了解環(huán)保知識(shí)并且找一個(gè)相關(guān)領(lǐng)域的工作。而且我認(rèn)為這是一項(xiàng)有意義的事業(yè),值得我畢生為之努力。我會(huì)不斷地在這一領(lǐng)域發(fā)現(xiàn)并且實(shí)現(xiàn)新的目標(biāo)的。

　　 該題屬于邀請(qǐng)信。與前一節(jié)最后所講到的求職信、投訴信等有較大差別,所以能用模板的地方并不多,只有開頭和結(jié)尾可以套用模板,如下面范文所示。

　　 My View on the Text Message

　　 As we all know,angels and devils are two poles apart,but the text message combines them perfectly.Some people take it for granted that it is a blessing,while others argue that it is a curse.As I see it,the advantages of the text message outweigh its disadvantages.

　　 No one can deny the fact that the short message brings about many benefits.First,it is a more economical and convenient way of communication compared with phoning.Chatting by means of short message,one need not worry about disturbing others,especially when they are having a meeting or class.Nor need he or she trouble himself or herself with the high fees when communicating with a friend in another city or country.Second,as the text message is somewhat like a conventional letter,one can express in it what he feels necessary but embarrassing to say on the phone or face to face.

　　 Admittedly,the short message may be abused.For instance,many unwanted and useless messages may waste people's time or even disturb people.However,this is not the fault of the message itself.

　　 In the final analysis,I believe that the short message has more merits than drawbacks.Therefore,we can use it.Of course,we should exert more supervision on it and don't let it disturb our lives.

　　 我們都知道,天使和魔鬼是兩個(gè)極端,但短信將它們完美地結(jié)合了起來。有些人想當(dāng)然地認(rèn)為短信好,而一些人則認(rèn)為它是個(gè)禍害。在我看來,短信的好處多于壞處。

　　 短信帶來了諸多好處,這是無可否認(rèn)的。第一,與打電話相比,它是一種更加經(jīng)濟(jì)和便捷的溝通方式。通過短消息的方式聊天,人們不必?fù)?dān)心打擾別人,尤其是當(dāng)他們?cè)陂_會(huì)或上課的時(shí)侯;而且人們也不用擔(dān)心在與另一個(gè)城市或國(guó)家的朋友聯(lián)系時(shí)的高額費(fèi)用。其次,由于短信有點(diǎn)像傳統(tǒng)書信,我們可以用它來表達(dá)我們認(rèn)為有必要表達(dá)但打電話或當(dāng)面說又令人尷尬的話。

　　 誠(chéng)然,短信可能被濫用。比如,許多討厭的和無用的短信可能會(huì)浪費(fèi)人們的時(shí)間,甚至對(duì)人們?cè)斐沈}擾。但這并非短信本身的錯(cuò)誤。

　　 總而言之,我認(rèn)為,短信的利大于弊。因此,我們可以使用它。當(dāng)然,我們也應(yīng)對(duì)其進(jìn)行更多的監(jiān)督,不要讓它擾亂我們的生活。
