Online love is very romantic and exciting. How does he/ she look like? What is his/ her view on Pride and Prejudice? It is the mysteriousness that pushes two strangers from afar to know more about each other.
In China, one of the preconditions for couples to get married is that the groom must own a house. Unfortunately, many lovers break up for lack of material affluence. Online romance, compared with realistic love, attaches more emphasis on the appeal to each other in spirit and involves less material conditions.
Online romance knows no boundary. Boys and girls can chat with each other once they find they have the same topics, regardless of their physical appearance and geographical limit.
NO
The Internet is a virtual world, in which there impossibly exists real, enduring love since it is very difficult to tell the real from the fake on the Internet. Everything provided online may be proved untrue.
Pursuing online romance is sometimes very dangerous because there are many cheaters on the Net. They disguise themselves as perfect lovers, rich, generous and gentle. They know what you want as a soft woman. But all of these are, in fact, tricks they play to cheat money or sex.
Online love grows out of illusion and thus is very infirm. Sometimes, they even don't have an overall understanding of the person they dream about. Yet they know each other better, they break up as quickly as they fall in love.

Online Romance Is Not Reliable
先审题，明确写作要求：针对“一对情侣在微信上仅认识了一个月就注册结婚”这一热点，探讨网恋是否靠谱。首先总结正反观点，然后给出考生个人观点。
第一段：简要概括正方观点，并表明自己的观点：在网上找生活伴侣不是理智之举。
As ways of communications have diversified for decades，online romance has become increasingly popular among youngsters.【As ways of+名词复数+have diversified for decades，主语+has become increasingly popular among...{几十年来...的方式已经愈加多元化了，在...当中，...变得越来越受欢迎。}】 Some in favor of it hold online romance，beyond physical attractiveness and geographical limit，is interesting and less emphasizes material conditions.【beyond physical attractiveness and geographical limit“超越了外表和低于的限制{状语}”；less emphasize不那么强调{谓语}；material conditions物质条件；Some in favor of it hold+从句...{赞成的一些人认为...}】Some are against it for the personal information provided online may be totally made up，the person you truly love a potential cheater and the love you think endure last and forever proves to be so fragile.【the personal information provided online网上提供的个人信息{provided分词做后置定语}；be made up虚假；for+从句...{因为...}；the person you truly love你真正爱的人{you truly love定语从句作后置定语}；a potential cheater{是person的同位语}；potential潜在的；cheater骗子；you think endure last and forever{定语从句左后制定定语修饰the love}；endure last and forever持续到永久{作think的宾语}；the person and the love作从句的主语；prove to do sth证明做某事；be so fragile如此脆弱{系表结构}；Some are against it+从句...{一些反对的人认为...}】As far as I am concerned，it is irrational to find a life companion online.【As far as I am concerned，it is irrational to do sth{依我之见，做某事是不理性的。}；companion伴侣】
第二段：首先对爱的定义开始立论：爱情是两个人拥有的同样的喜好和理想，对对方有强烈的情感依恋，而在段时间建立起来的网恋关系容易“见光死”。就算最后他们的恋爱关系能够走得更远，网恋中的人们也得克服许多现实的障碍。
To start with，love is defined as a strong emotional attachment to the person who shares the same habits and ideals.【To start with，+主语+is defined as...{首先，...可定义为...}；a strong emotional attachment强烈的情感依赖；who shares the same habits and ideals定语从句作后置定语修饰the person；share拥有v.；ideal理想n.；to sb对某人来说】Such an attachment can’t be established overnight.【Such a/an+名词{这样的...}；overnight一夜之间；be established被建立起来】In most cases，online romance grows out of illusion and is likely to be augmented by halo effect，in which couples think the person they love is the best，despite all the weak points.【In most cases，+句子...“大多数情况下，...。”；illusion虚幻的想象/错觉/幻想n.；grow out of...“因...而产生”；is likely to be augmented by...“由于...可能会增强”；augment增加v.；halo effect晕轮效应；...，in which+从句...{...，在...中，...。}；couples夫妻/双方；despite+名词“尽管...”；weak points种种缺点】Once the platonic love is tested in daily life，strengths vanish and weakness appear at a moment.【Once+从句...，+主句...“一旦...，...。”；platonic love柏拉图式的恋爱；is tested接受考验；strength优点；vanish消失v.；weakness缺点；appear出现；at a moment片刻/马上】 The story isn’t over yet；it just begins.【be not over yet还不是结局；】 Couples have overcome realistic barriers if they want to carry their relationships much longer，for example，long distance，different family background and even different education background.【realistic barrier现实的障碍；long distance空间距离】
第三段：重申观点——真爱很少会出现在网上，网恋也很难维系，因此在网恋上找生活伴侣不是明智之举。
To sum up，it is unwise to find a life companion on Net，for online romance can be hardly true love and difficult to maintain.【To sum up，it is unwise to do sth“总之，做某事不是明智之举。”；for+从句...{因为...}；be hardly true love and difficult to do sth{很难是真正的爱并很难做某事}】
翻译：
网恋不靠谱
几十年来通讯方式已经愈加多元化了，网恋已经变得越来越受年轻人欢迎。一些赞成网恋的人认为，网恋不那么强调物质条件，很有趣，超越了外表和地域的限制。一些反对网恋者认为，网上所提供的个人信息可能完全是虚假的，你真正爱的人可能是一个骗子，你认为能持续到永久的爱情最后被证明是如此脆弱。就我而言，在网上找到生活伴侣是不理性的。
首先，爱可定义为对某个拥有同样习惯和理想的人有强烈的情感依赖。这样的情感依赖不可能在一夜之间建立起来。大多数情况下，网恋会因虚幻的想象而发生，并由于晕轮效应可能会增强，在晕轮效应中双方认为他们所爱的人是最好的，尽管存在种种缺点。一旦这种柏拉图式的恋爱在接受日常生活的考验时，优点就会马上消失，缺点会瞬间出现。这不是结局，才仅是开始。为了让感情维系得更长久，双方需克服种种现实障碍，比如空间距离、家庭背景及教育背景差异。
总之，在网上找到生活伴侣是不明智的，网恋几乎没有真爱，很难维系。
