"changes of ways"类

栗子:Changes in the way of education

开篇可铺陈背景,引入对“教育方式发生改变”的探讨,或开门见山,直接概述教育领域发生的变化

主体部分应详细阐述具体变化(今昔对比/当下变化)+ 这些变化的成因/影响

结尾部分可对这些变化简要作评,或展望未来的发展趋势并呼吁人们做好准备

The past decades have witnessed a surge of technological innovations.Irresistibly useful and convenient,tools resulting from these innovations have prompted(促使,导致) radical changes in our lifestyle.Among them,changes in the way of education are some of the most noticeable ones.
Nowadays,the computer and projector(投影仪) have become indispensable(不可或缺的) in every classroom.Compared with old-fashioned chalk and talk(板书口授),multimedia-based teaching enables teachers to demonstrate what they found hard or even impossible in the past,such as abstract geometric(几何的) concepts and bizarre lanscapes.
The trend of distance learning is another significant change.With a wide array of(大量各式各样的) online courses to choose from,teaching and learning are no longer confined(局限) to the classroom or school day.Students now can attend lectures by prominent(著名的,卓越的) professors in far-away locations in their own bedroom anytime they want.And all this happens just within a few clicks.
Although these changes are by and large(大体上) constructive,they do have a couple of unintended(无意地的,意想不到的) negative consequences.For instance,distance learning is likely to lead to a detached(冷淡的,疏远的) relationship between the student and the teacher.

其他作文:

the changes of communication:
At one time,people communicated primarily face to face and via letters.Nowadays,however,the advancement of network technology offers us more options such as text messaging,voice calling and video chatting.
These changes bring a great deal of benefits.Perhaps the most obvious one is convenience.Irrespective of (不考虑,不管)the geographical locations and time zones,we can now keep in touch with each other through the Internet at a previously unimaginable speed. This increased efficiency,in turn,leads to reduced costs.For instance,the advent of video conferencing(视频会议) allows people to meet each other without having to worry about travel expenses. More excitingly,changes in the way of communication make possible remote

“importance of quality"类

栗子:Self-confidence:an importance factor for success

开篇可概述没有自信的危害来强调自信的重要性

主体部分:自信的定义+例子论证自信是成功的必要因素

结尾部分总结其带来的益处

If we don’t feel self-confident about our ability,we will not be able to take up a task and get it done.If we dont’t have confidence in our competence,we won’t be courageous enough to face up to a challenge.Only when we think we are capable of doing something,will we be able to succeed in doing that.
Self-confidence is different from complacency(自满).It is solidly(坚固地,坚硬地) based on our knowledge,judgement,abilities and skills.To develop it takes years of learning and to consolidate(巩固) it takes years of practicing.
Self-confidence means more than mental preparedness(准备就绪).It serves as an indication(象征,暗示,迹象) of professional readiness(敏捷;准备就绪).It is also an expression of intellectual maturity.
With self-confidence,we are able to firmly take each step in our journey of life(坚定地迈出人生旅途中的每一步) and it is self-confidencet that has been paving the way to the ultimate(最终的,最后的) goal of our professional career(为我们职业生涯的终极目标铺路).

The students,organized by the Student Union,visited a senior center close to our school on Wednesday,June 12th,for the purpose of providing help for the elderly there.
Our volunteer were warmly welcomed when they arrived there at about 1 p.m.
They presented the elderly with fresh fruits before dividing themselves into two groups,one responsible for cleaning and the other for chatting.It took nearly an hour for half a dozen volunteers to sweep and mop the floor and then wash all the windows.
The rest were,meanwhile,listening attentively to the elderly who looked back on their good old days(过去美好时光) with a certain amount of nostalgia(n.怀旧,念旧).
The activity ended with a certain lecture on how to send voice messages and make video calls on WeChat.
"I’m impressed with their vigor(n.活力,精力) and optimism(n.乐观),"says one of the volunteers.“And I’m glad that the entire afternoon we spent together means something to them.They expressed their gratitude for our company,which may be,in my opinion,what they need most.”

"whether正反观点观点"类

栗子:Whether technology will make people lazy

With the continus progress of science and technology,great changes have taken place in the way people live.This progress has brought great convenience to people.Nonetheless,it has also made many people lazy.
First,the widespread use of Internet technology,especially smart phones ,allows people to know what is happening outside without going out.People just need to pick up a mobile phone,connect to the Internet,and open the corresponding software,then the major events of the world will be caught in their eyes.They no longer have to open books and newspapers or go out to get information.Second,the appearance of takeaways has also made people lazier.People can get whatever they want to eat without cooking for themselves or even getting up to go to a restaurant…
To sum up ,the ever-changing technology brings convenience to people,but it also make people laxy.Consequently,while improving the quality of life,people should learn to use science and technology correctly instead of relying on it blindly.

栗子:Whether violent video games online will cause students violent behaviors

With the progress of the times, the use of smart phones, computers and other electronic products is becoming more and more common among students. And many students like violent video games online. This raises a question, whether violent online games will lead to students’ violent tendency? From my point of view, the answer is no.
First of all, through online games, students can relieve the pressure in real life and find like-minded people to communicate with, which will reduce students’ irritable tendency in real life. In this way, these video games will not increase students’ violent tendency. On the contrary, to a certain extent they will reduce students’irritable behaviors. Moreover, online video games are virtual and the violent elements in the games are unrealistic, and these violent scenes can hardly be implemented in real life. So the violence in online games has little impact on real life.
To sum up, from my point of view, violent online games will not lead to students’ violent tendency. The development of science and technology is bound to change people’s way of life, which will bring about a lot of influence on people’s life. It is only necessary for us to learn to use it properly.

栗子:Are People Becoming Addicted to Technology?

Numerous studies claim that addiction to technology is real and it has the same effect on the brain as drug addiction. First, no one can deny the fact that technology is of great importance to our daily life. However, as a matter of fact, its adverse effect should not be ignored by the public.
Confronted with such phenomenon, we should take a series of effective measures to cope with the situation. For one thing, it is obvious that the universitiesand mass media should increase publicity and educationto encourage people to apply technology more appropriately. For another, we should bear in mind that we are supposed to take a reasonable attitude toward modern technology, andmake its advantages over-weigh disadvantages.
Personally, I believe that only by doing so can we better ourselves in every aspect of our life. Consequently, I’m confident that a bright future is awaiting us because technology makes our life rich and colorful.
