雅思写作谈谈科技发展的利弊

由于科技发展进步，这部分话题也成了雅思写作的高频话题之一，往往要求考生探讨科技进步所带来的好处和影响，大多都是比较贴近生活的，所以考生可以从身边挖掘写作素材。老师就以一篇范文为例，浅谈此类文章的应对策略。

题目：

people today can perform the everyday tasks as shopping, banking or even business transactions, without meeting others face-to face. What effects will this phenomenon have on individuals and society as a whole?

分析：

题目的大意是指，如今人们购物、银行甚至商业交易都可以通过网络进行，而不需要面对面的交流。这种现象的发生，对于我们个人和社会整体而言有什么影响？其实这个题目与我们日常生活十分相关，如今网上购物、网银交易，甚至是支付水电煤都可以网上进行，这对于我们的生活带来了很大的方便，但是不可否认的是，也会出现一些问题。客观的讨论是必不可少的。

例文分析：

开头段(不少于3+1句) The interactivity of the Internet and the mobile phone has enabled a multitude of people to purchase their desired items or pay their phone bills without stepping out of their offices or homes. And many others can even register for tests or sign contracts online. This sweeping trend of going about everyday business in the virtual world has triggered a marked decline in face-to-face contact between people . Thus it is essential that we identify the implication of this trend on both individuals and society as a whole.
英文里表达“从事”一件事情 go about / conduct /perform  表示影响可以替换的单词:Implication/ repercussions, impact, influence

主体段1(不少于1+6句) The impact of this phenomenon on individuals is profound. First, Individual efficiency in business transaction and banking will be greatly enhanced. And those who dread shopping are spared the chore of browsing around in shops. Secondly, the increasingly sedentary lifestyle will engender a higher incidence of ailment. More overweight people means more patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases such as vein hardening, diabetes and hypertension. Thirdly, the absence of face-to –face contact may induce distrust between business partners. An inherent sense of di*elief is apt to ruin a telecommunicated negotiation when negotiators can only see videos of each other tran*itted via the Internet.
表示“提高,增进”,enhance boost  要表示“产生”的意思,后面是好的结果,用bring about  后面是不好的结果用engender  后面是抽象名词比如心理活动,用induce 破坏undermine, jeopardize, endanger, ruin, wreck, havoc on, spoil, devastate

主体段2(不少于1+6句) This trend also has widespread repercussions on society as a whole. In the first place, the burgeoning e-commerce will, doubtless, boost corporate efficiency immeasurably. And higher efficiency means more earnings and less costs for businesses. In the second place, online fraud, be it banking or trading, retail or wholesale is sure to abound in the cyberspace. We must search for practicable and effectual means of curbing it. In the third place, the proliferation of e-commerce may exacerbate man’s overdependence on technology. And that can render our lives unspontaneous and our tempo of life too fast and furious.
让…..进一步恶化aggravate exacerbate worsen

结尾段(不少于2句) In sum, there is no denying that the virtual is exerting influence on our lives in various ways . It is a key that we take advantage of the upside of this trend and in the meantime mitigate its downside as much as possible.
消的影响 baneful influence/ pernicious influence  积的影响 beneficial influence/ advantageous influence  深远的影响 profound influence
