范文一：

The modern technology has greatly altered the mode of communication among

people. With the help of the Internet, people can easily contact each other anytime

anywhere. However, the side effect is that many people have become over-dependent on the

Internet and neglected face-to-face communication.

As

far

as

I'm

concerned,

electronic

communication

cannot

fully

replace

the

direct

contact

among

people.

Although

it

seems

to

bring

everyone

together,

it

actually

estranges

people

and

decreases

the

effectiveness

of

communication.

A

typical

example

is

that,

traditionally,

people

working

in

the

same

office

simply

walk

to

others

and

talk.

Today,

however,

co-workers

tend

to

send

e-mails

or

instant

messages

through

the

Internet

even

when

they

are

sitting

next

to

each

other.

As

words

can

never

convey

the

full

message,

it

usually takes much more time and rounds of conversation than face-to-face communication,

in which people can discuss more directly with less loss of information.

To conclude, the Internet enables more effective communication in some situations, but

over-dependence on it actually pulls people apart.

范文二：

It is frequently observed that many people keep looking down at their mobile phones

whatever they are doing. It is true that mobile phones have brought great convenience to us

as

we

can

send

short

messages,

check

e-mails,

surf

the

Internet,

or

watch

videos

almost

anywhere. However, the overuse of mobile phones also leads to some serious problems.

The over-dependence on mobile phones can harm the relationship among friends and

family. With mobile phones, people do not talk as much as before. For example, sometimes

at

dinner

tables,

instead

of

chatting

and

laughing with

each

other,

many

people

choose

to

chat with other friends online. In other words, mobile phones help people contacting friends

far

away

more

easily

at

the

expense

of

reducing

the

communication

with

those

who

are

sitting right next to them.

2

In

conclusion,

mobile

phone

can

be

a

useful

tool

in

modern

life,

but

overusing

it

damages interpersonal relationship. There is no point to lose our intimacy with friends and

family to modern technology.

范文三：

The impact of the Internet on learning

Explain why education doesn’t simply mean learning to obtain information

In the age of knowledge explosion, the Internet opens a magical portal for leaners to get

access to seemingly incessant information. But is information equal to knowledge? “Once I

learn

how

to

use

google,

isn't

that

all

the

education

I

really

need?”

This

question

fully

embodies the prejudiced opinion that as long as people acquire abundant information, they

will get proper education.

The reason why education doesn’t simply mean learning to obtain information is that

education is not limited to the hard facts or theories students can learn from their textbooks

or the Internet. It relates to a wider scope ranging from the obtainment of practical skills to

the

development

of

characters,

which

are

hard

for

students

to

learn

simply

by

googling.

Consequently,

comprehensive

learning

in

schools

that

includes

learning

knowledge,

conducting experiments and communicating with peers is what true education is.

In

a

word,

the

Internet

does

provide

valuable

information

for

learners,

but

people

should

be

fully

conscious

of

the

essence

of

education

and

learn

to

tell

the

right

from

the

wrong.
