TWE39: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? With the help of technology, students nowadays can learn more information and learn it more quickly. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Science and technology, with their ever increasing power, have largely transformed our way of living, influence of them spreading across every aspect of society. It is undeniable that students, nowadays, under the help of new technology, especially that of computer science, including internet, have been able to acquire knowledge as well as information more quickly than ever before, nearly causing a dramatic revolution of education. For instance, more effectiveness in a foreign language learning, which used to require the learners’ high endurance and depend entirely on tedious, or boring, repetition of tape-recording, is now attached to using computers loaded with latest learning software. What’s more, the new technology has added to the enjoyment of learning process, enhancing our interest, an important element of success, in a particular field.
However, as is often pointed out, every coin has two sides. While computer has become more and more indispensable equipment, its detrimental effect, both on adults and children, seems to be completely ignored. Many young have spent most of the day playing computer games and, as a result, most of them dropped out of school. Moreover, some people, without giving any consideration to their future, even indulge themselves in porn movies or erotic photos illegally spread on the Internet. One of my friends, though claiming to have derived a lot of pleasure from it, wasted too much time chatting on line and in the end failed 3 exams in the final. Therefore, from what has been discussed above, technology is a two-edged weapon that could produce both positive and negative impact on us.
In conclusion, technology itself does not make things good or bad. Acquiring a new knowledge takes a long, arduous journey before finally reaching the destination. Students, especially those under the age of 18 and still in their high school, should utilize new technology to improve their learning under the guidance of teachers and their parents. |
