From my point of view, this trend can harmfully influence individuals in many ways.The negative consequences of technology addiction can be illustrated from two aspects. For one thing, being indulged in technological gadgets is detrimental to students academic performance. For example, many university students stay up all night to play video games and thus feel drowsy and distracted in class. In addition, many psychological researchers found that the excessive use of technological devices can have an adverse effect on individuals mental well-being and interpersonal relationship. For instance, modern people, especially youngsters, are reluctant to interact face to face with their friends and families because of the indulgence in online social media platforms or computer games. In conclusion, it is of utmost importance to take actions to counteract the negative effects mentioned above. Perhaps the first step is that students should be educated to use technological devices in a rational way.【解析】本次四级作文考查的是现象影响类的论说文。题目给出的是一个负面的现象人们沉迷于科技产品。采用三段式:开头段引出负面现象并发表自己的看法;第二段,即主体段论述该现象带来的负面影响;结尾段给出针对性的建议。 Part II Listening Comprehension (25 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear three news reports.
