作文题目

Some people think that the development of technology has made our life more complex, and the solution is to live a simpler life without that technology.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?

题目翻译

一些人认为科技的发展使得我们的生活更加复杂,因此解决方法在于过一种没有科技的简单生活。你在多大程度上同意或不同意?

题目解读

本题是新题,但与2009年2月12日的话题非常类似(详见"类似话题"第一道)。属于科技类话题,题型为同意与否(单观点)。科技类话题是雅思写作中的常考话题,但已很久未出现,上次考科技类话题是在2011年10月29日。
话题评价:
雅思写作中,科技类的题库共有以下一些分支:1、通讯科技(如远程上班、教育),2、现代传媒(电视、网络、手机、电子游戏),3、机器替代人类。而今天的话题属于科技类相对最难的第4个分支,抽象类。抽象类的科技话题请参见"类似话题"的2-4题。
类似话题
1. Developments of technology are causing environmental problems. Some people think the solution is for everyone to accept a simpler life, while others believe that technology can solve these problems. Discuss both views and give your opinion. (090212)
2. Technological progress in the past century has its negative effect, despite its remarkable contribution. To what extent do you agree or disagree?(100227)
3. Some people believe that the range of technology available to individuals today is increasing the gap between the poor people and the rich people, while some others say this has an opposite effect. Discuss both views and give your opinion. (090110)
4. The development of technology changes the way people connect with each other. In which way does the development of technology change the types of relationships among people? Does it have positive or negative effects on the relationships?(090808)
结构与思路
本题的话题非常典型,错误的观点+理由(这道题目是理由在先,错误的观点在后)。这类题型的写法是一样的,采用单边型,先驳斥题目中的原因(科技会让生活变得更加复杂),然后再讲执行错误观点(离开科技)会引发的后果。这类题型在雅思写作中有很多,写法都一致,建议大家做好准备。下面给大家举两道思考题,大家可以自己构思一下。
1. It is not necessary for students to go to school because more information is available on the Internet. Do you agree or disagree? (031122, 040131)
2. Some people believe that university students should pay all the cost of studies because university education only benefit the students themselves not the society as a whole. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

范文

The development of modern technology has made people's life more complex, so people should choose to have a simple and easy life without using technology. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Give reasons for your answer and include relevant examples from your knowledge or experience.
The advancement of modern technology is making people's life more comfortable and at the same time less human. To those who enjoy the benefits of technology, there is no better time to be alive than now, but to others life has been increasingly complex and stressful. The issue is whether such new technological machines as computers and the Internet would be our servants forever or eventually could become our masters.
All kinds of inventions made possible by technology are designed to be the slaves of human beings, if human beings are not to be slaved by machines. Once upon a time, we were plain people, but that was before we began having relationships with technological systems. By getting involved with computerized machines, we could not help changing the way we live and the way we work, for better or for worse It can be realized that life is more complex because much of modern technology is not born to meet primary human needs, and many "unnecessary" inventions are producing negative effects on a living style that used to be relatively simple. Thus, there is an overwhelming feeling of complexity in the sense that machines act like humans and humans act like machines. Now that "intelligent" machines such as robots are widely applied to take the place of human beings because they are capable of doing many useful jobs, although making many people jobless. Those who cannot work with computers are disadvantaged and therefore helpless while the traditional skills and simple ways of life are fading away, never to return again.
Technology has turned this world into a different one full of wonders, some of them being too good to be true. For example, mobile phone is playing an important role in our social and professional lives, whereas the Internet has connected people at every corner on the planet and beyond. As a consequence, telecommuting may soon become a more common way of working as more people are doing part of their jobs from home. And so what? Actually people are no closer to feeling happy in various respects because such technological developments are destroying many basic values of simple and easy lifestyles. Computers in particular have made life less emotional since the more time people use the Internet, the less time they spend with human beings.
In sum, there are reasons to be worried about what will become of mankind as a whole facing an increasingly complex world in which they may enjoy all the conveniences of life and yet they do not feel any happier or wiser. Who knows that over-dependence on modern technology could not mean the beginning of the end of human sparks of creativity, spirit, compassion, love and understanding and other good things about a simple and easy life. In making people's lives more enjoyable but more complex, technology seems as if sending plenty of blessings from heaven as well as sending plenty of evils from hell.
