2023年7月1日雅思大作文真题

With the rapid advancement of communication technology: smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices, some people believe that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In this day and age, there is no doubt that the development of the internet has made our people's lives a lot easier and more convenient while some individuals think that it has more drawbacks than benefits. In my personal opinion, I disagree that the disadvantages overshadow the advantages and I will explain why in the paragraphs. 

First and foremost, it is undeniable that the internet is playing an important role in this age and era since everything is connected to the Internet locally and globally. There are many things that are connected to the Internet such as shopping, communications, education, work, and so on. For example, most people use social media such as Facebook and Instagram to communicate with each other in an easy and fast way. Another example is that we can know the global news just by checking the BBC news website in a second and news can be shared within a minute through social media we can know the news as soon as it occurs. 

On the other hand,  children can also study online via Zoom and other platforms like google meet and google classroom. As a result, they will have extra time to study and revise what they have learned and they can also save their energy. In addition, working people, do not have to go long journeys to work and they can also work from home which is very time and energy-saving. However although there are so many benefits, there can be many disadvantages such as not being productive and being lazy by working and studying from home. 

To conclude, although there are a few drawbacks, it is undeniable that technology has made everything a lot easier and helps us to connect with everything from all around the world.

在这个时代，毫无疑问，互联网的发展使我们的人们的生活变得更加容易和方便，而有些人认为它的缺点多于好处。在我个人看来，我不同意弊大于利的说法，我将在下文中解释原因。

首先，不可否认的是，互联网在这个时代发挥着重要作用，因为所有东西都与本地和全球的互联网相连。有很多事情都与互联网相连，如购物、通信、教育、工作等等。例如，大多数人使用Facebook和Instagram等社交媒体，以一种简单和快速的方式相互沟通。另一个例子是，我们只需在一秒钟内查看BBC新闻网站就可以知道全球新闻，而通过社交媒体，新闻可以在一分钟内分享，我们可以在新闻发生时立即知道。

另一方面，孩子们也可以通过Zoom和其他平台（如谷歌会议和谷歌课堂）在线学习。因此，他们将有额外的时间来学习和复习他们所学的知识，他们也可以节省精力。此外，上班族，不必长途跋涉去上班，他们也可以在家里工作，这是非常节省时间和精力的。然而，虽然有这么多好处，但也会有很多坏处，如在家工作和学习，没有生产力，懒惰。

总而言之，虽然有一些缺点，但不可否认的是，技术已经使一切变得更加容易，并帮助我们与世界各地的一切联系起来。
