The increasingly rapid pace of life today causes more problems than it solves.Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.
I strongly agree that the increasing pace of life creates more problems than it solves in our technology-driven society. I will illustrate my position with examples about transportation, communcation, and diet .
With the advent of private cars, people in modern society have live their lives in the fast track
- commute and travel by cars - faster, more convenient and comfortable
- problems: car accidents, road rage, sendentary lifestyles (obesity, high blood pressure)
- more problems: income gap; isolated from others on the road; inequality
With the advent of digital computers and the Internet, people can communicate more rapidly but the new technology often causes more problems.
- email saves time and improves efficiency (solve some problems)
- but people write faster without thinking carefully
- email becomes a burden for many people
- security is a big issue as well
Fast food is another consequence of the rapid pace of life
- it solves the problem of time shortage (grab a hamburger to go)
- but fast food is junk food (too greasy; too much calorie)
- no time to spend with family (dinner time used to family time)
之前的提纲
In modern society that is heavily industrialized and globalized, the rapid pace of life has solved many problems in areas such as public transportation and emergency response. While some people may argue that the rapid pace of life has stressed out people and led to public health issues, many people have learned to manage the problems by taking vacations and planning early retirements.
ts1: The rapid pace of life has enabled people to enjoy efficient public transportation that is essential for everyday activities. 这里指出生活节奏快使我们可以享受高效的生活 包括 高效的交公共交通
这里如果觉得仅仅说公共交通不够的话，也可以提一下各种生产和服务业都是高效的运作 比如iPhone手机的批量生产 银行的便捷服务等等
ts2: With the fast lifestyles, the society can also respond to emergencies promptly through the fire services, the police and the hospitals. 这里以火警、匪警和医疗救护为例指出快节奏可以使社会快速应对紧急情况 保障公众生命安全
ts3: Despite the great pressure caused by the rapid pace of life threatening public health, many people have learned to deal with the problems through vacations and early retirements. 承认快节奏生活会带来公共健康问题，比如抑郁、焦虑、自杀等等，但是现在很多人都会利用度假和计划提早退休等方式来处理这些问题，而能够度假和提早退休也有赖于快节奏的生活和工作。
