Technology Blessing or Curse.doc

Technology: Blessing or CurseDifferent people have different opinions on whether technology is a blessing or a curse. As I see it, in the modern history of human civilization, technology has played an indispensable role and it has always been the first driving force of the prosperity of life and society, so I tend to support the idea that technology is mainly a blessing to us. Firstly, technology has made our lives much easier, a lot more convenient and fascinating than ever before. For instance, with the help of it, most of us no longer need to worry about food, instead we are provided with various types of food that not only satisfy our tastes but also are nutritious. Household appliances, computers, modern transportation and telecommunication have revolutionized our lives in different aspects. Whats more, technology enables us to choose before different alternatives such as diverse ways of recreation and education. Apart from the contributions technology has made to our society, it is also crucial to our economy. As technology develops, it creates opportunities, generates a great fortune and a large number of vacancies. Whats more amazing, it fulfils peoples dreams of becoming rich overnight. On the other hand, it leads to an ever-increasing level of productivity which gives rise to the ever-large quantities of goods and services that can expand consumption and boost the economy. Taking these factors into consideration, the benefits that technology has brought to us would no doubt outweigh the problems it has brought about, so I hold the firm opinion that technology is mainly a blessing for us human beings.1.1 Different people have different opinions on whether technology is a blessing or a curse. 搭配统计 动名搭配 have_on.opinion 在语料库中出现过 40 次 学习提示 易混词汇: different, various, diverse 均含“不同的”之意。 1.2 As I see it, in the modern history of human civilization, technology has played an indispensable role and it has always been the first driving force of the prosperity of life and society, so I tend to support the idea that technology is mainly a blessing to us. 搭配统计 动名搭配 support.idea 在语料库中出现过 1185 次 学习提示 易混词汇: civilization, culture 均含“文化，文明”之意。 搭配统计 动名搭配 play.role 在语料库中出现过 26773 次 2.1 Firstly, technology has made our lives much easier, a lot more convenient and fascinating than ever before. 学习提示 易混词汇: simple, easy 均含“简单的，轻易的”之意。 2.2 For instance, with the help of it, most of us no longer need to worry about food, instead we are provided with various types of food that not only satisfy our tastes but also are nutritious. 高分词汇 provide是普通词汇，可以在某些语境中替换为lend或offer。 搭配统计 动名搭配 satisfy.taste 在语料库中出现过 80 次 学习提示 易混词汇: food, provisions, diet 都有“食物”之意。 2.3 Household appliances, computers, modern transportation and telecommunication have revolutionized our lives in different aspects. 低频警示 our lives in different aspects 在语料库中无此用法，疑似中式英语 搭配统计 动名搭配 revolutionize.life 在语料库中出现过 34 次 学习提示 易混词汇: apparatus, instrument, device, equipment, tool, implement, installation, appliance, facilities 均有“仪器，设备，器械，器具”之意。 2.4 Whats more, technology enables us to choose before different alternatives such as diverse ways of recreation and education. 学习提示 易混词汇: choice, alternative, preference, option, selection, election 均含有“选择”之意。 3.1 Apart from the contributions technology has made to our society, it is also crucial to our economy. 高分词组 apart from在做“除去，除意外”讲时，是普通词组，在某些特定语境下可替换为with the exception of 好评 报错 3.2 As technology develops, it creates opportunities, generates a great fortune and a large number of vacancies. 搭配统计 动名搭配 create.opportunity 在语料库中出现过 2304 次 学习提示 易混词汇: create, compose, design, invent, make, produce 均有“创造，制作”之意。 3.3 Whats more amazing, it fulfils peoples dreams of becoming rich overnight. 搭配统计 动名搭配 fulfil.dream 在语料库中出现过 6 次 学习提示 易混词汇: perform, conduct, do, execute, fulfil 均含“做，执行，实施，完成”之意。 3.4 On the other hand, it leads to an ever-increasing level of productivity which gives rise to the ever-large quantities of goods and services that can expand consumption and boost the economy. 搭配统计 动名搭配 expand.consumption 在语料库中出现过 6 次 搭配统计 动名搭配 boost.economy 在语料库中出现过 1527 次 搭配统计 动名搭配 give.rise 在语料库中出现过 2215 次 学习提示 易混词汇: lift, hoist, raise, elevate, heave, boost 均有“升起，举起”之意。 4.1 Taking these factors into consideration, the benefits that technology has brought to us would no doubt outweigh the problems it has brought about, so I
