As people rely more and more on technology to solve problems, the ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate.

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.

开头段写法指导1. 同意转换原命题指出人们对科技越来越依赖
2. 概括本文观点，指出取决于人们在社会中的角色
3. 分三句描述三种不同的人的情况

There is no doubt that modern people have become increasingly dependent on advanced technologies to solve many problems in different fields. Whether or not our abilities to think independently would deteriorate over time depends on the specific roles we play in the modern society. For people who develop the technologies to solve problems, their abilities to think will be sharpened continuously as they have to refine the technologies to meet new demands of the end users. For people who participate in the policy making regarding the use of technologies, their thinking capabilities will also improve as they are forced to ponder on the fundamental problems related to technology and society. Nevertheless, the statement may hold true for those people who do not actively seek opportunities for critical and creative thinking in this technology-driven society.  
中间第一段写法指导
1. 首先引出要讨论的那部分人（呼应主旨句的第一部分）
2. 先让步指出这部分人也要使用高科技
3. 转折指出他们需要靠自己思考
4.举例子-手机应用程序工程师
注：这段偏长，在考场上，建议只求4分的同学写一个例子就行了。

Consider the scientists and engineers who are responsible for developing the theoretical and practical aspects of the new technologies.  It is true that they utilise technologies to solve their problems in research and product developments. But they also rely on their own thinking abilities to solve problems in their works. For example, software engineers of mobile apps rely on the mobile programming platforms to develop the apps as the platform can help the engineers to visualize the user interface of the apps. The computers they use can also collect and analyse the user data for the software engineers to better understand how the users behave in response to different app design decisions. But ultimately, no computer softwares can replace the engineers in solving the key problems such as how to attract more users and how to improve the quality of user experiences. If the engineers are to improve the mobile apps, they still have to think by themselves to decide how to improve the design by taking into account the data provided by different tools.  Likewise, the computer scientists are challenged to optimize the algorithms used in different programs to reduce the time required to run the programs.  Sophisticated computer programs such as Matlab can help the scientists to simulate different algorithms and get data on their computational performance. But the computer scientists have to think by themselves to tweet the mathematical models and develop more efficient algorithms.   

中间第二段写法指导
1. 呼应主旨句的第二部分-针对制定科技政策的人
2. 提出例子-脸书、推特等社交网络带来的社会问题需要新的政策和规则
3. 相关人员需要做什么
4. 更具体的例子-脸书的大数据
5. 针对这个问题人们要做什么
6. 结合原命题的问题进一步讨论
7. 最后对本段的重点意思进行强化

The development of new technologies also challenges those people responsible for formulating policies and rules regulating the use of technologies.  The popularity of social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter presents a wide variety of social problems such as cyberbullying, hacking and privacy violation that call for the introduction of new rules and policies.   Government officials, legislators and experts in relevant fields have to work together to address these issues through developing more sophisticated policies and laws. For example, Facebook has now gathered a staggeringly large amount of data about its users in digital forms and used the data to to make profits in many different ways.  To address issues like this, the policy makers will of course rely on the state-of-the-art technologies for communications such as email, video conferencing and even Facebook to collect feedback from the users and data from different sources. They may also rely on statistical software packages such as SPSS to analyse the data. But the technologies can never make the decisions for them.  They still have to think about these issues from different perspectives and come up with their own decisions. As a result, for these policy makers, this statement does not hold true, either.  

中间第三段写法指导
1. 概括本段内容，呼应主旨句第三部分
2. 以电视为例（注意科技不一定要是最新的，像汽车、电视甚至洗衣机都是我们习以为常但曾经深刻改变人类社会发展的科技）
3. 具体展开讨论电视的例子
4. 最后强化本段的分论点

The concern that reliance on technology to solve problems may lead to the deterioration of thinking abilities is more valid for the people who do not have the opportunities to think creatively and critically as a result of technological development.  For example, as TVs become prevalent, people rely on this technology for news, entertainment or even baby-sitting. As TV offers a multimedia stream of news, there is no need to read newspaper critically and make one's own decisions. As TV episodes bring people amusement 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, people do not have to think about what to do to live a meaningful and fulfilling life. As TV can keep the children busy and occupied for hours, parents do not need to think about how to develop interesting and creative activities for their children. For the people who rely on TV or similar technologies to solve the problems in their daily life, they may gradually lose the abilities to develop more creative solutions through their own thinking.   

结论段写法
1. 引用名言（这种写法在我的范文中十分少见，只是我太喜欢这句话了，所以在这里引用）
2. 重复本文的主旨句内容
3.进一步展开说明

Computer scientists and programmers like to say, “There are two kinds of people: those who know binary numbers and those who don't.” Likewise, in the age of technology, there are also two kinds of people: those think about issues related to technologies and those who let technologies to think for them. For the former, the development of technologies will stimulate them to think more and their abilities to think will grow over time. As for the latter group, their abilities to think for themselves are likely to decline as the technologies have deprived them of the opportunities to think.
