Do you use computers very much?
Yes. I use computers every day of the week, both at school and at home. Whether I stay at home or go out, I usually carry my laptop with me, so that I can take my work with me, too. It’s one way I manage to get everything done, because I can even get work done on the subway!
是的,我每天在學(xué)校和家里都使用電腦。不管我是在家還是在外面,我通常都會帶著我的筆記本電腦,這樣我就可以把我的工作帶在身邊。這是我設(shè)法完成事情的一種方法,因為我甚至可以在地鐵上完成工作。
Have computers changed your life in any way?
Computers have been a part of my life for almost as long as I can remember. What I think has changed my life the most is access to the internet, which has vastly improved over the last 10 years. Now I can use the internet wherever I want to, to gather information, talk with my friends and call my family several thousand miles away.
就我記憶所及,電腦已經(jīng)成為我生活中的一部分。我認(rèn)為給我的生活帶來改變的是互聯(lián)網(wǎng),它在過去的10年里有了極大的改善?,F(xiàn)在無論什么時候我想用網(wǎng)絡(luò)都能用得到,不管是用來搜集信息,和朋友聊天,還是與千里之外的家人通話。
Do you think computers are useful in everyday life?
【雅思33天】 沖6.5分VIP班!點(diǎn)擊免費(fèi)試聽>>
Of course! I can’t imagine my everyday life without a computer. It is hard for me to imagine any kind of life without a computer. I rely on my laptop for so many things that I feel lost without it, even just when the battery dies!
當(dāng)然!我無法想象沒有電腦的生活。對我來說很難去想象沒有電腦的各種生活。我依靠我的筆記本電腦做很多事情,所以沒有電腦,甚至只是電腦沒電的時候,我都會恍然若失。
Do you think there are any disadvantages to using computers?
The only disadvantage to using computers, in my opinion, is their overuse. Some people use computers so regularly they can get addicted to computer games or surfing the internet. Many health problems can arise for those people who spend too much time in front of a screen and not enough time taking care of their bodies.
在我看來,用電腦的缺點(diǎn)就是過度使用它們。一些人頻繁使用電腦,以至于他們會沉迷于電腦游戲或者有網(wǎng)癮。許多健康問題會出現(xiàn)在那些在電腦屏幕前呆很長時間并且沒有好好照顧他們身體的人身上。
Computers are now used a lot in education. What do you think of this?
Computer use is a valuable element of modern learning. As an educational tool, computers are convenient, easy to use and can broaden the skills of learners in a very short period of time. Without the use of computers, millions of students would not have access to resources beyond simple textbooks and their teacher’s opinions. That’s said, computers are not always used to reinforce positive learning practices, and students should not rely solely on computers for their learning.
電腦的使用是現(xiàn)代學(xué)習(xí)的一個有價值的元素。作為一個教育工具,電腦方便,容易使用,并且可以在很短時間內(nèi)拓寬學(xué)習(xí)者的技能。 不使用電腦的話,上百萬的學(xué)生將不能夠獲得超出簡單教科書的內(nèi)容和老師觀點(diǎn)以外的資源。也就是說,電腦并不總是用于加強(qiáng)積極的學(xué)習(xí)方法,學(xué)生也不能僅靠電腦來學(xué)習(xí)。
