來自考官范文。。。

Pat老師評語：很難說是一個客觀嚴(yán)密的結(jié)論，但只要論證過程充實(shí)就已經(jīng)足夠了。

Modern technology has revolutionised life in three main fields: work, transport and communication. Although modern technology is often blamed for stress and alienation, I doubt that many people would want to turn back the clock to the pre-technological age. Despite the fact that life was simpler in former times, I would prefer not to return to that lifestyle, because that simplicity was due to a lack of choice. Before large jet airliners came in in the 1960s, for example, air travel was beyond the reach of most people. Before electronic cash registers, people had to spend a lot of time on math calculations to carry out transactions. Furthermore, our knowledge of the world around us, especially foreign countries, was sketchy before television brought us the vivid images of documentaries. Modern technology has brought liberation from the exhausting and boring labour and has set us free to enjoy more interesting work and leisure.
現(xiàn)代科技在三大方面改變了人類的生活：工作、交通和交流。盡管現(xiàn)代科技總是被人們賦以增大人們壓力、疏遠(yuǎn)人際關(guān)系的罪名，但我懷疑恐怕沒有人愿意把生活調(diào)回到現(xiàn)代科技發(fā)展前的時代吧。 盡管確實(shí)在科技發(fā)展前的生活更簡單一些，但我不會愿意再回到那個更“簡單”的年代，因?yàn)槟欠N“簡單”是源于缺少選擇。比如在大型航空公司于上世紀(jì)60年代出現(xiàn)之前，航空旅行對絕大多數(shù)人來說都是可望而不可及的。在電子收款機(jī)出現(xiàn)之前，人們在做每筆交易的時候都要做大筆的數(shù)學(xué)計算。另外，我們對這個世界的理解和認(rèn)識，特別是對外國的認(rèn)識，在電視紀(jì)錄片給我們帶來生動的影像之前，大部分都是盲人摸象，沒有實(shí)質(zhì)印象。現(xiàn)代科技還是我們從單調(diào)辛苦的勞動中解放出來，使我們能更好地享受有趣的工作和休閑。
