What will disappear in the future according to the passage? What is the major reason for this phenomenon(现象)? Phone boxes will disappear in the future.

In the comics and earlier films, Clark Kent would pop into a phone box to change into his Superman costume. But these days, phone boxes are hard to find. The main reason for this is simply that we don’t need them anymore. Read for structure(结构) Introducing something that will not be around in the future and giving the reasons. Almost everyone these days carries a mobile phone with them. It is certainly more convenient to take out a mobile and make a call at the touch of a button than to press a series of long numbers on a telephone. And anyone who happens to leave their mobile phone at home will still have no use for a phone box. Why?Because they are unlikely to remember the number they want to call — that’s something that our mobile phones do for us these days. And even if we could remember a number and needed to call it urgently, it would still be more convenient to borrow a mobile phone from someone else than walk around looking for a phone box. Supporting arguments So, the phone box is becoming a thing of the past. Poor Clark Kent will have to find somewhere else to change! Conclusion 基本框架 第一部分：阐明观点并列举理由； 第二部分：提供支持性的论据； 第三部分：总结并重申自己的观点； 1.

Can you underline some useful expressions that can be used in writing about a change? Read for vocabulary(词汇) The TV, the Electric Fan, key, match, news stall(报刊亭), learning machines, ... We have laptops, tablets, computers and smartphones, which enable us to go online and search for anything we are interested in, they are all portable. TVs take up too much room , while laptops, computers and smartphones can help save a lot of space. Writing 1 The Electric Fan: a Thing of the Past The days of keeping cool with electric fans are numbered. In recent years there has been a significant decrease in their use, and their obvious shortcomings compared to air conditioners make their complete disappearance in the near future possible. Firstly, electric fans are far less effective in cooling a room. While the breeze they produce can feel pleasant, it does not lower the overall temperature. Not only do air conditioners achieve this, but their settings can be adjusted so that they can reach a specific, ideal temperature.Secondly, electric fans are often less efficient at the use of space, as they usually need to be placed on either the floor or a table; in contrast, air conditioners are usually hung on walls. But what do you think – will the electric fan soon be a thing of the past? Writing sample(范文1) Writing sample(范文2) Where Has the Learning Machine Gone? The trend of learning machines has become a thing of the past. It has brought a lot of happiness to the generation after 80s. It was once a household name, and many people still remember it today. Why does this happen? First of all, a learning machine is too expensive, which may cost 4, 998 yuan. Secondly, the technicians of the factory lacked learning and communication, and of course the leaders of the factory did not import talents. Above all, the popularization of computers makes the learning machine out of the historical stage completely. In a word, the wheel of history can not go back but forward. 1. Before writing, think about the structure. 2. Think about something that might disappear in the future. 3. Pay attention to the language: a. using simple present tense or future tense. b. using objective and simple language. c. using facts to make the point convincing. 4. You had better choose a good title and an attractive lead-in.
