范文 : the modern technology has greatly altered the mode of
communication among people. with the help of the internet,
people can easily contact each other anytime anywhere.
however, the side effect is that many people have become
over-dependent on the internet and neglected face-to-face
communication.
as far as im concerned, electronic communication cannot fully
replace the direct contact among people. although it seems to
bring everyone together, it actually estranges people and
decreases the effectiveness of communication. a typical
example is that, traditionally, people working in the same office
simply walk to others and talk. today, however, co-workers
tend to send e-mails or instant messages through the internet
even when they are sitting next to each other. as words can
never convey the full message, it usually takes much more
time and rounds of conversation than face-to-face
communication, in which people can discuss more directly
with less loss of information.
to conclude, the internet enables more effective
communication in some situations, but over-dependence on it
actually pulls people apart.
【篇二：传统与现代 -英语六级作文】
tradition and modernization (iii)
the mid-autumn festival became a public holiday only in recent years, amid the increased modernization drive of china. if one attributes the establishment of this holiday simply to chinese people ’ s collective nostalgic impulse, it would be a serious misconception. its creation produces important implications that shed light on what is going on in our modernization process.
英语六级作文范文modernization has long been coveted as a revolutionary process that promises people a brand-new world and brand-new lifestyles. however, this reckless drive for the new has plunged people into an unprecedented state of rootlessness. in the high-rise modern buildings, our neighbors are virtual strangers with whom we only maintain a nodding acquaintance. totally engrossed in pursuing our own personal successes in big cities, we seldom have time to be with our families. intoxicated with the virtual reality on the internet, many people experience serious barriers in real-world interpersonal communication. while
we may pride ourselves on the physical achievements of modernization, we find ourselves trapped in growing loneliness and alienation.
