8月14日 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement. Although science and technology will continue to improve, the most significant improvement for the quality of people's lives have already taken place
Human had fly to the moon in 1969 and came back safely, unmanned shpacecraft had already got out of solar system. Also, modern people use computers in their daily life to study, work or do other things. Similar changes have taken place in other fields as weel, based on this, some conclude that the most considerable headways to improve people's lives have already became into reality. However, condidering problems that remain in society and environment, I think modern people have large amount of work to do.
In the first place, all kinds of pollutions happening around us need to be treated with the improvement of our science and technology. None one can deny the fact that science and technology brougt us efficiency and convenience for our daily life. One can dirve to a place far away within a few hours, or fly to other parts of the world across the ocean and sea, which people in the past never imagined they could. On the other hand, science and technology cause problems to the air surrounding us, the water we drink, and also the noise made by machines is unacceptable in certain situations. Therefore, the quality of modern people's lives need to be improved with the help of science and technology.
It is euqally important to improve modern people' heath condition. With the help of advanced equipments in hospitals, some diseases which had not been noticed in the past can be detected now. For example, AIDS, and all kinds of cancers deprive people' lives, until now, there are not effective ways to cure patients with diseases. In addition, in other places of the world, people do not have clean water to drink. They also do not enough food to eat, to feed their young children or support their old parents, although people in developed countries enjoy the fruit of modern science and technology everyday. In these cases, the quality of modern people's lives remain to be improved.
In the third place, social problems have not been solved in modern society, which can diminish the quality of modern people's lives. All kinds of crimes happening around us everyday, which makes us worry about the safety of ourselves. Recently, one person called Zhou in China have been killed by police officers. This person had killed tens of ordinary people who withdrawed money in the bank. He had killed police officers and escaped to western part of China in order to hide himself. During these days, people even did not go to the bank. Also, other problems such as the conflicts between two people can not be solved by science and technology. Thus. people remain to feel disturbed or have conflicts with others that make them feel unhappy. And, there are no solutions to these problmes even with the help of science and technology.
In conclusion, modern people have to deal with all kinds of pollutions, their health condition also need to be improved. Also, some problems in modern society have not changed yet. Based on these above discussions, I believe that the most significant improvement for the quality of people's lives will take place in the future with the improvement of science and technoligy.
TPO 12 The reading text states various reasons to prove one painting's subject is Jane Austen, one of the most famous of all Englist novelists. On the other hand, the speakers is skeptical about this painting, he says the evidences in the passage are not convincing, and are questionable. at best.
First, the speaker gives the fact that Austen's family gave the permission to use the portrait seventy years after Austen's death, so that none of these famlily members had seen Austen. Thus, they could not make certain that the portrait was truely be one painting of Austen. In contrast, the author of the passage claim that the Austent famlily as one reason to support his/her standpoint.
Second, the speaker points out that the subject of the portrait may be one of Austen's relatives. Austen's family was very large, and there were lots of female members, and the female children of her family members. They were all likely to be the teenage girl in the portrait since they resembled Austen. Evidence showed that the teenage girl might be one of Austen's relative named Mary.
Third, the speaker explains that the canvas used to made the portrait was saled by a businessman named Weiliam. However, this person did not sale canvas in london until Austen was 27 years old, which was older than the teenage girl in the portrait. In this way, the teenage girl in the portrait is certainly not Austen, which is opposed to the ideas made in the reading text, according to the speaker. |
