Write a short passage with the title with One Day Without Computers. The following information may help you.
Suppose you were on a special day in 2030. During the day, there were no computers in the world.
What trouble would you have?
One Day Without Computers
Today, when I got up, I just turned on the computer as usual, but it didn’t work. Then I tried my brother’s PC, my parents’, even my dog’s, but none of them worked. Later, it was reported on TV that all of the computers in the world broke down today…
One Day Without Computers
Today, when I got up, I just turned on the computer as usual, but it didn’t work.
Then I tried my brother’s PC, my parents’, even my dog’s, but none of them worked.
Later, it was reported on TV that all of the computers in the world broke down today.
So the world is quite different. For instance, we can’t play games, watch movies or
do shopping at home. Besides, we can’t communicate by sending e-mails or chatting
online. Without the help of computers, businessmen can’t place or cancel orders online. Teachers can’t give lessons to their students. What’s worse, robots controlled by
computers can’t do dangerous work for humans. Even the doctors can’t find the
diseases easily.
In short, we almost have trouble with everything without computers today.
Project

The Importance of Smartphones
There is no doubt that smartphones play an important part in our daily life. Then let me introduce it to you.
毫无疑问,智能手机在我们的日常生活中扮演着重要的角色。接着让我给你介绍一下。
As we all know, cellphones are very useful in many areas of work and leisure. // On the one hand, phones are used to control our houses at home. For example, we can use them to turn on the lights or close the door. In business, it's easier for people to communicate with each other. If they have trouble working, they can solve some problems in time by face-to-face chatting.//
On the other hand, more and more phones are used for entertainment, such as watching movies, listening to music and playing games etc. Besides, it's convenient for us to do shopping or do business at home. People just need to place or cancel orders on their phones.
众所周知,手机在工作和休闲的许多领域都很有用。// 一方面,电话在家里被用来控制我们的房子。例如,我们可以用它们来开灯或关门。在商业中,人们更容易相互沟通。如果他们在工作中遇到困难,他们可以通过面对面的聊天及时解决一些问题。// 另一方面,越来越多的手机用于娱乐,如看电影,听音乐和玩游戏等。此外,在家里购物或做生意也很方便。人们只需要在手机上下单或取消订单。//
第二段结构——总分
Every coin has both sides. If we work on phones too long, we may get headaches or sore eyes. Even though there are also some disadvantages of mobile phones, it mainly depends on how to use them properly.
任何事物都有两面性。如果我们在手机上工作太长时间,我们可能会头痛或眼睛酸痛。尽管手机也有一些缺点,但这主要取决于如何正确使用它们。
【注意】缺点不能过多赘述,否则会导致与文章大意相违背。
