　　Technology Is Changing Our Lives

　　The fact that technology is changing our lives is undeniable.

　　First of all, technology makes life easier. With the invention of various electric home-appliances, housework is no longer a drudgery. With the innovation of assembly lines workers do not have to struggle with splitting lump of wood or iron. With the emerging medical treatment or therapy, the handicapped can lead a better life. With new vehicles coming into being, say, subway,mag-lev, spaceship, countries and continents are bridged and a trip to the moon is no longer a dream. Unquestionably, technology increasingly facilitates our lives.

　　Moreover, technology offers us more fun. On the one hand,with generations of new technology, people have more leisure time to enjoy their lives because the introduction of new technology speeds up productivity, which in turn leads to reduction of working hours. As a result time to relax after work is no more a luxury. On the other hand, means of entertainment becomes diverse. You can travel around the world as you wish with the new means of traffic springing up or you can enjoy yourself sitting comfortably in front of your TV set, which opens to you a new vista of the outside world. It's a wonderful life, isn't it?

　　It is true that new technology renders our life easier and more pleasant, but as is so often pointed out, technology is a two-edged sword which can be used equally for good or evil the other side we are often blind to. While polymer can be turned into throw away plastic and flashy bags, it also threatens our environment with sc-call "white trash". While Internet facilitates our communication, it gives rise to increasing net crimes. Being addieted to computers stifles the very creativity of human nature.

　　In conclusion, while we enjoy the freedom and convenience brought by high tech, we must be alert to its side effect. The only thing we need to remember is that we should control technology instead of allowing ourselves being controlled.

　　簡 評

　　本篇的主題是科技改變生活，其影響有正面的，亦有負(fù)面的。文章脈絡(luò)清晰，可分為三個部分：科技給生活以便利；科技給生活帶來樂趣；濫用科技會給生活帶來威脅和損害。作者以忠告結(jié)束全文：科技不可避免地改變生活，關(guān)鍵是人們要支配科技而不是被科技所支配。

　　本篇文章的可取之處主要有兩點(diǎn)。首先，文章的脈絡(luò)清晰。保證一篇文章成功的前提是具備全面、簡明的中心思想以及與主題息息相關(guān)并互相關(guān)聯(lián)的主題句。主題句可以直接陳述或以含蓄的方式體現(xiàn)在每個段落的開首或末尾。另外，總結(jié)性的結(jié)尾是一篇文章完整的體現(xiàn)。其次，本文運(yùn)用了大量的平衡句。平行結(jié)構(gòu)有兩種句型：一種是對照句即用相同的結(jié)構(gòu)表述兩種截然不同的思想；另一種是平衡句即用相同的結(jié)構(gòu)表達(dá)兩種相同或相似的思想。本文第二段就包含一組平衡句，如"With the invention ofvarious electric home appliances，housework is no longer a drudgcry.With the innovation Ofassembly line workers do not have to struggle with splitting lump Of wood Or iron.With the emergmg medical treatment Or therapy，the handicapped can lead a better life.With new vehicles coming into being，say，subway，maglev，spaceship，countries and continents are bridged and a trip to the moon is no longer a dream.”，該組平衡句在內(nèi)容上相輔相成，語氣貫通，較好地表達(dá)了“科技給生活帶來便捷”這一主題句。另外，在第三段的結(jié)尾，作者運(yùn)用了附加疑問句，如“It'sawonderful life，isn't it"，以期獲得讀者的呼應(yīng)和共鳴。
