As is subtly revealed in the portrayal，there are two parents sitting in the front of computer，who are chatting with their child on the internet. From my perspective, the electronic contact cannot replace face to face communication owing to the following factors. To begin with, over-reliance on electronic contact will damage the interpersonal relationship, for the cold machine never replaces a warm-hearted greeting face to face. For instance, the aged parents would like their only son who works far away home to come back home more often rather than to communicate with him on the Internet occasionally. Whats more, face to face communication is preferable because it is conducive to build a harmonious society, for it attaches more significance on human affection and feelings instead of convenience and speed.Just as an ancient Arab proverb says,” Every sword has its two edges.” On the contrary, others are under the impression that electronic communication can replace face-to-face contact. Consequently, we should naturally arrive at the conclusion that we should not spend too much time on their computer terminal rather than relating to people in the real world.【解析】profounda.意义深远的 revealedvt.显示，透露 portrayaln.描绘interpersonala.人际的 occasionallyadv.偶尔 on the contrary相反arrive at the conclusion得出结论 computer terminal电脑终端【解题思路】第一段：围绕网络对学习的影响，进行图画描述描述时最好对孩子的话语进行简单描述第二段：亮出观点并进行解释学习不是一个仅仅获得信息的过程。学习包括被启发后进行思考，自我寻找答案，获取帮助和指导，尝试答案，积累经验以及分享等环节。通过网络获得信息只是其中一个环节，不代表整个学习过程，不会对学习产生全面有益的影响。第三段：给出解决方案1.学生应该被引导培养独立思考的能力2.获得信息的渠道有很多，网络只是其中一种3.获得信息后进行分析加工和实践，学习才有意义【例文】The Impact of the Internet on LearningAs is vividly shown above, a teacher and a pupil stand in front of a blackboard, talking regarding the relation of the Internet and education. The pupil, holding a smart-phone in his hand, questions whether he needs any other education or not, with the mastery of Google.The reason why education doesnt simply mean learning to obtain information is that education is not limited to the hard facts or theories students can learn from their textbooks or the Internet. It relates to a wider scope ranging from the obtainment of practical skills to the development of characters, which are hard for students to learn simply by googling. Consequently, comprehensive learning in schools that includes learning knowledge, conducting experiments and communicating with peers is what true education is.Therefore, while putting emphasis on education, we should cultivate the youngsters awareness of obtaining the knowledge in various aspects rather than just by the Internet. In a word, the Internet does provide valuable information for learners, but people should be fully conscious of the essence of education and learn to tell the right from the wrong.【解析】vividlyadv.生动地 comprehensivea.综合的，广泛的peern.同龄人 cultivate the awareness of培养.的意识be conscious of意识到 tell the right from the wrong分辨对错2013年12月英语四级考试分析之作文篇 整理人：徐琴 徐晨晨 本次四级作文形式仍为漫画题，探讨因特网等现代信息技术对人们交流模式的影响。话题贴近日常生活，难度中等。题目要求简述网络的影响，并解释“电子通讯能否替代面对面的交流”考生需要明确给出正面或反面的观点。 如选择“可以替代”，可考虑从信息技术先进程度、交流方式多样化(文字、语音、视频)等方面举例论述。如选择“不可替代”，则可强调信息技术无法实现的方面，如面对面情感交流、文字信息内容传达的不完整性，或是网络技术的不稳定、不可靠等方面。 真题一Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below.

Firstly, certain institutions in China should launch relevant campaigns to limit the excessive use of cellphones. Moreover, we, as college students, should put emphasis on it right from ourselves as a start. 真题三：Directions.

The pupil, holding a smart-phone in his hand, questions whether he needs any other education or not, with the mastery of Google.While the Internet has greatly impacted on how to learn, education does not simply means learning to acquire information because of the following two factors.
