SHOULD WE FIGHT NEW TECHNOLOGY?
This morning,I saw the shocking headline:“Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode”.In the article,various people said that the public should oppose① the idea of developing driverless cars.They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous.Hence②, we should cease③accepting technology just because it is new.The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologised for④ the accident,but the families of the deceased⑤ said it was not enough.Nevertheless,the company still claimed⑥ that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon.
On the one hand⑦,there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence⑧ of new technology.Probably the most well-known are the Amish,a group of Christians living in rural⑨ America.They do not own or drive cars,watch TV,or use the Internet.They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century,and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future.They advocate⑩ a simple life with an emphasis⑪ on hard work,family,and community.They think that is better than caring about⑫ luxuries⑬ or following the lives of the
rich and famous.It could even be argued that the Amish's quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large,polluted cities.
本句是表语提前引起的倒装结构;a group of Christians living in rural America作the Amish的同位语,其中的现在分词短语living in rural America作后置定语,修饰a group of Christians。
It could even be argued that...表示“甚至可以说……”,it是形式主语,that引导的从句是真正的主语;that引导的从句中又包含一个since引导的原因状语从句。
On the other hand,new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years.For example,the latest weather-tracking computer programs give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters⑭,which saves many lives.Moreover,the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch⑮ easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world⑯.It has also made finding opportunities in life much easier,as it allows people to make larger networks⑰ of friends through using social media.
Personally,I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances.I found my career⑱ as an AI designer through a social media network.My health monitor,which I wear all the time,has also helped me get into the best shape of my life.Of course,when new technology changes the way we live,it can be a scary prospect⑲.Nevertheless,I will always look on the positive side⑳ of change and accept it rather than resist㉑ it.
我们应该反对新科技吗?
今天早晨,我看到了一个令人震惊的(报道)标题:“无人驾驶模式下的车祸造成乘客死亡”。在这篇报道中,很多人说公众应该反对研制无人驾驶汽车的想法。他们说一些科技进步是没必要的,甚至可能是危险的。因此,我们不应该仅仅因为科技是新的就接受它。该报纸报道说,汽车公司已经就这起事故道歉,但死者家属说这还不够。尽管如此,该公司仍然声称,不久的一天,大多数人将乘坐无人驾驶汽车出行。
一方面,世界上有许多不同的群体,他们在没有新科技的情况下幸福地生活着。或许最著名的就是阿曼门诺派,(他们是)一群生活在美国农村的基督教徒。他们没有汽车也不驾驶汽车,不看电视也不使用互联网。18世纪以来,他们主要从事农业生产,并且在遥远的将来,他们可能会以同样的方式生活。他们提倡简单的生活,重视努力工作、家庭和团体。他们认为这比关注奢侈品或追随富人和名人的生活要好。甚至可以说,阿曼门诺派的生活质量更好,因为他们生活在自然环境中,欣赏自然,而不是生活在被污染的大城市里。
另一方面,多年来,新科技为(世界)各地的人们提供了许多好处。例如,最新的气象追踪计算机程序向人们发出了许多关于潜在自然灾害的警告,从而拯救了许多生命。此外,即使身处世界的两端,互联网使(我们同)朋友和家人能很容易地保持联系。它也使(人们)更容易在生活中寻找机会,因为它使人们通过使用社交媒体结交更多的朋友。
就我个人而言,科技进步使我受益匪浅。我通过社交媒体网络找到了我的人工智能设计师的职业。我一直戴着的健康监测器也帮助我的身体处于最佳状态。当然,当新科技改变我们的生活方式时,这可能是一个可怕的前景。尽管如此,我总会看到变化的积极的一面,并且接受它而不是抵制它。

[妙笔成篇]
Nowadays,the Internet has become an essential means of communication to modern people,which plays an important part in our daily life and brings us many benefits,but its disadvantages should also not be ignored.
The Internet brings us many advantages.Firstly,not only can the Internet provide a great deal of the latest information for us but also we can send e-mails to our friends,contributing to promoting social communication.Secondly,the Internet makes shopping online convenient.However,the Internet has many disadvantages.It can easily lead to physical problems,doing harm to our eyesight.Surfing the Internet for a long time may affect our work and rest.If addicted to the Internet,teenagers tend to fall behind others at school.
In my view,the most important is that we should learn how to make full use of its advantages while avoiding its disadvantages.

[参考范文]
Dear Editor,
Recently our class has had a discussion about whether the cell phone benefits us or not.
Some students have a preference for cell phones.Cell phones make it more convenient to keep in touch with friends and relatives.The instant/Instantly they switch on cell phones,they can obtain relevant learning resources.Nevertheless,there are some students who are opposed to/oppose using cell phones too much.So
occupied in playing cell phones are many students that they keep those around them at a distance.Besides,with many unhealthy websites on the Internet,they will suffer a lot physically and mentally.
Personally,I advocate that all the students (should) combine using cell phones with face-to-face communication.
Yours,
Li Hua
