版本一作文要求：You should start
your essay with a brief
account of The impact
of the Internet on the
way people communicate and
then explain whether
electronic communication can replace
face-to-face
contact.(120-180words)
参考文章：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 communicati
on.
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.
版本二作文要求：You should start
your essay with a brief
account of The increasing
use of mobile phone in
people`s life and then
explain the consequences
of overusing it
.(120-180words)
参考文章：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.
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.
版本三作文要求：You should start
your essay with a brief
account of The impact
of the Internet on learning
and then explain
why education doesn`t simply
mean learning to obtain
information (120-180words)
漫画对白：Once I learn
how to use google, isn't
that all the education I
really need?
参考作文：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.
