The Changes in the Way of Communication

 

第一段引出话题表明观点：在互联网时代的每个人都能感到交流方式的剧烈变化。但是，这种变化具有两面。

Living in the age of the Internet，nobody fail to notice the drastic changes in the way of communication and their penetrating influence on our life.【Living in the age of...“在...的时代”；nobody fail to notice...“每个人都感到...”；the drastic changes in the way of...“...方式的剧烈变化”； penetrating有洞察力的； penetrating influence on...“对...具有洞察力的影响”】

As saying goes，every rose has its thorns and communication is no exception.【As saying goes，+句子...“正如说的那样，......”；As saying goes，every rose has its thorns and +主语+is no exception.“俗话说，任何事物都有两面而且...也不例外。”】

 

第二段从正反两方面论证自己的观点：一方面，我们必须承认科技交流带来巨大的便利，身在远方也可以和亲戚好友实时对话。另一方面，互联网的便捷和智能手机的普及是人际交往减少的根源。

On the one hand，we must recognize the enormous benefits brought by technology，though which we can enjoy the real-time communication with families and friends in a distant place.【On the one hand，we must recognize the enormous benefits brought by...，though which we can...“一方面，我们必须承认......带来巨大的好处，这我们能......”】

This brings us great comfort and sense of happiness compared with ancient people who heard from a friend three months later after he/she had sent a letter.【This brings us great comfort and sense of happiness compared with...“与......相比，这给我们带来安逸和幸福感。”；ancient people who do sth.“...做某事的古代人”；hear from sb.“收到某人的来信”；主句......after+从句......“在......之后，......”】

On the other hand，it cannot be denied that the easy access to the Internet and the wide popularity of smartphone are blamed for the root of less social communication among people.【On the other hand，it cannot be denied that +从句...“另一方面，无可否认的是，......”； the easy access to sth“便利的某物{名词短语}”；the wide popularity of...“广泛流行的......{名词短语}”；be blamed for the root of less+名词“责怪减少......的根源”】

This can be best illustrated by the increasing number of hours spent on Wechat，QQ or some other social networking website.【This can be best illustrated by+名词...“这说明了......”；the increasing number of...“越来越多的...”；hours spent on...“在......方面花时间{名词短语}”；social networking website社交网站】

 

结尾段总结全文：我们必须看到交流方式变化的超出和潜在的危害。最重要的是要理智使用虚拟社交，保持虚拟社交与真实社交的平衡。

To reach a balanced view，we need to take both the benefits and potential harms of changes in the way of communication into account.【To reach a balanced view，we need to take both the benefits and potential harms of ... into account.“为了达到平衡，我们必须全面考虑......的好处和潜在的危害。”】

But the top priority is that we could make wide use of virtual communication and keep a balance between face-to-face communication and communication on line.【But the top priority is that we could+动词原形...“但是最重要的是，我们可以......”；make wide use of...“广泛使用...”；keep a balance保持平衡；】
