楼主帮忙看一看,刚开始练习,1114的考试,用120做的,严格按照考试时间来的。
Test1 - Integrated Writing 1
The lecture challenges the view that Anasazi's abrupt vanish is due to a serious summer drought mainly from three perspectives.
First, the lecture points out that the drought actually is not as severe as people contemplate.
Although it is claimed that the drought wiped out most areas of the world.
However, the presence of some ancient trees indeed reflects that the drought is far from the degree to kill all the creatures in this area.
Since the trees in this area can self-sustain during the drought, it is doubtful that as a group of highly intelligent human beings, Anasazi cannot survive and easily withdraw from this difficult situation.
Second, the lecture also questions the point of view that the irrigation system indicates that Anasazi had suffered for drought for a long time and finally had to give up their habitats.
In the contrary, the lecture believes that this is an indirect evidence to prove that Anasazi had fully recognized their problems and therefore exerted a lot of efforts to adapt this situation.
Finally, the lecture also casts doubt on the hypothesis that the over-population made the whole situation worse for the Anasazi. The lecture holds the view that people shall study from a more comprehensive perspective to explore the sudden appearance of Anasazi from invasion of other tribes, diseases, etc.
The simple conclusion of the summer drought seems to be kind of arbitrary without sounding supports.
Test1 - Topic 1
Given the development of modern technologies, nowadays students are really armed with dozens of cutting-edge equipments helping them to learn knowledge, including the multi-media systems, the internet, etc.
Not like their previous generation, they do not rely on books as their sole source to gain information. However, it is doubtful that using modern technologies virtually helps students to learn more or learn in a faster way.
First, the various sources where information is presented, on the one hand, make the students receive knowledge in different methods and media forms.
However, it does not mean that students can accept more information than via this "information flood". Actually, such information flood will naturally increase the burden of the students as they need to deal with the issues on how to select and absorb necessary information from what they received.
Interestingly, you can always observe a certain type of students who have incredible enthusiasm to collect different information related what the professor taught at the class.
However, it appears that the final grades of these students are not proportionate to their efforts spending for researching enormous information as they just achieved an average level grade.
What lead to such unpromising ending regardless of their enormous efforts?
From my observation, these students spent too much time in collecting data and therefore lost themselves in such an information ocean.
Second, modern technologies also distract our attention from learning itself.
We understand that more and more modern learning equipments advertise their appealing technique for learners, like a learner-friendly interface or various leaning tools.
However, the over-fancy technologies may neglect the core need of students i.e. how to effectively and efficiently learn information and draw their attention to the technology itself rather than the knowledge to be presented through such media.
For instance, some students may be attracted by some mini-games provided in some learning tools and fails to concentrate on the content to be learned.
Finally, some modern technologies themselves are too complicated for the students to follow. In fact, students need to spend a plenty of time on learning how to use these technologies. Accordingly, we need to consider the real effect the modern technologies bring to us in learning information.
As far as I see, whether the modern technologies can help us learn more or learn efficiently is still questionable as we will face so many negatives alongside with the application of these modern technologies. |
