参考范文:

Over the past century, science and technology has been developing so unprecedentedly that it has changed human life dramatically. Some people believe that we should return to basics and live without technology. In my opinion, technology has greatly improved our life quality and work efficiency despite the troubles it brought us.  

 

Admittedly, with the advances of technology, there emerge some unexpected inconvenience and confusion. Take the constantly updated computer viruses as an example, if infected by a virus, the computer system may break down suddenly and tons of data will get lost, and it may even lead to individual information disclosure eventually. Another example is severe environmental pollution and the accompanying species extinction nowadays. The vast use of cars and the exhaust emission have undoubtedly speeded up the world's air pollution.

 

However, it does not mean that by getting rid of technology we can lead a simpler life without worries. Instead, every aspect of our life has already been intimately connected with technology and it has made our work and life much easier. There is no doubt that technological progressions have significantly improved the productivity of human society. For instance, the invention of robots are helpful in dealing with those repetitive and mechanical tasks. With the help of internet, people around the world are able to communicate with each other at the fastest speed and the lowest cost.

 

Indeed, it is your right to choose the lifestyle of a hermit and stick only with the simplicity. But it is undeniable that science and technology has made the world a better place to live, and as long as we keep in mind of its negative influences, I believe technology will lead us to a bright future.

 

重点表达:

unprecedentedly: adv. 前所未有的

admittedly: adv. 公认地

individual information disclosure 个人信息泄露

repetitive and mechanical: 重复机械的

There is no doubt that… 毫无疑问的是

it is undeniable that… 不可否认的是

Keep in mind 记住
