2013-12-14 阅读 : 次
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief account of the impact of the Internet on the way people communicate and then explain whether electronic communication can replace face-to-face contact. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
From the cartoon given above, we can oberve that there are two people in front of a computer. With his wife standing behind, the man is writing an E-mail to their son which states, "Dear Andy - How are you? Your mother and I are fine. We both miss you and hope you are doing well. We look forward to seeing you again the next time your computer crashes and you come downstairs for something to eat. Love, Mom and Dad."We learn from the cartoon that the Internet has exerted a great impact on the way of people's communication. People used to communicate face to face, make calls or write letters. While in modern society, people are more prone to to communicate via, as the cartoon depicts, Internet tools like E-mails, QQ or microblogs. People hold that these ways of communication are more convenient and are able to save them an enormous amount of time. Here comes a question, "whether electronic communication can replace face-to-face contact?" Definitely not. When enjoying the convenience of of electronic communication, people have began to realize that it tends to weaken the affection between people, reduce working efficiency or even bring about some misunderstandings or frictions. Moreover, communicating through electronic tools will be likely to make people solitary or even suffer from certain mental disorders.
What the cartoon depicted can be tragic: the family could have communicated face to face happily without E-mail. But now, a family living together seems to be a thousand-mile apart. Perhaps, we should take a moment to think, "Does anyone there want to fall victim of convenience of the Internet and electronic communication tools ?" (275 words)
参考译文：
通过这幅所给的题目，我们观察到有两个人在电脑前。男子的妻子站在后面，而男子则正他们的儿子写邮件，并说到："亲爱的安迪，你好！你妈妈和我一切都好，并且很想你，也希望你一切都好。我们期待下次在你电脑崩溃或者是下楼取东西吃的时候再次见到你。爱你的妈妈，爸爸。"
我们从这幅图画得知互联网对人们的沟通方式带来了巨大的影响。人们过去习惯于面对面的沟通、电话沟通或者是书信沟通。而现代社会，人们更倾向于像图画所画的那样，用诸如邮件、QQ或者是微博这样的互联网工具进行沟通。人们认为这样的沟通方式更加方便，节省时间。现在，就由这样一个问题了："电子交流是否会取代面对面的沟通呢？"答案是否定的！人们在享受电子沟通带来的便利性的同时，也已经开始意识到了这会削弱人与人之间的情感，降低工作效率有时候甚至会带来一些误会和摩擦。再者，电子沟通也会使人变得孤僻甚至是产生更加严重的心理疾病。
图画中所描绘的场景，是可悲的: 如果没有互联网，此刻他们可能其乐融融的在一起聊天呢。然而现在，同处一室的家人，正式因为互联网的便利性，却变得相距千里。 或许我们应该花点时间想一个问题："有人想成为互联网和电子沟通工具的便利性的牺牲品吗？"
