　　范文解析

　　开头段

　　交代背景“新科技影响人们之间的交流”，表明既有优点，也有缺点。

　　背景句：It is true that new technologies have had an influence on communication between people.

　　个人立场：Technology has affected relationships in various ways, and in my opinion there are both positive and negative effects.

　　主体段 1

　　科技影响着商业、教育、社会生活中的关系。

　　主题句：Technology has had an impact on relationships in business, education and social life.

　　平行列举：电话互联网→商业;科技服务→学习方式;社交媒体→沟通交流

　　Firstly, telephones and the Internet allow business people in different countries to interact without ever meeting each other. Secondly, services like Skype create new possibilities for relationships between students and teachers. For example, a student can now take video lessons with a teacher in a different city or country. Finally, many people use social networks, like Facebook, to make new friends and find people who share common interests, and they interact through their computers rather than face to face.

　　主体段 2

　　一方面，科技进步带来了很多好处，另一方面可能会造成孤立人和真实交往问题。

　　主题句 1：On the one hand, these developments can be extremely positive.

　　对比论证：Cooperation between people in different countries was much more difficult when communication was limited to written letters or telegrams. Nowadays, interactions by email, phone or video are almost as good as face-to-face meetings, and many of us benefit from these interactions, either in work or social contexts.

　　主题句 2：On the other hand, the availability of new communication technologies can also have the result of isolating people and discouraging real interaction.

　　举例论证 ：For example, many young people choose to make friends online rather than mixing with their peers in the real world, and these ‘virtual’ relationships are a poor substitute for real friendships.

　　结尾段
