Next,来看今天的话题:
Topic: News media have become influential to our lives. Some people think that is a positive development. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

The 21st century has witnessed an unprecedented advancement in virtually all fields of daily life, and the news media is no exception. Admittedly, it brings a great convenience to our daily life by disseminating the latest information around the world. However, its draws back should not be hidden and thus ignored by the general public.

显而易见,这是篇论证文,同样是采用段论。第一段承认新闻媒体的不可替代的作用,同时认为不能忽视其消极影响。这也是全篇的点。

Doubtless, the impact of news media on society is profound. In the first place, it offers a variety of news in terms of economic, society, culture, business and so on. So individuals can get whatever they want. In the second place, it is the most effective method of improving the moral standard of society. For example, frugality is inculcated into many people’s mind as a virtue, because of the massive reports on scarce resources. Besides, citizens will also feel a sense of responsibility towards endangered species, if most of the coverage offers the information about how serious these animals confronted with.

第二段,分三个小论点论证说明新媒体的作用。如带来人们需要的信息;有效地提高道德意识(以节俭使用资源例);有助于提高公民的社会责任感(以保护濒临灭绝的物种为例)。基本上一个论点说完都带有几句进一步说明的语句,使得论点更加充实和具有说服力。

Nevertheless, everything comes at a price. Actually, it is quite understandable that the public is more curious about the bad news than the good one. As a result, newspapers and magazines are there to provide what the public want, and this can lead to some extent of distortion of perceptions. What’s more, impulsive and easily influenced as young people are, they are likely to imitate the violent or pornography content of the report, which is likely to make these youngsters embark on an criminal road.

话锋一转,来阐述新闻媒体的负面影响。比如,人们会在认知上受到扭曲,因为信息不对等;一些网络不良信息会危害年轻人的成长。注意用词,这一段的词汇用得很棒!

Overall, although the news media might have some potential negative effect on individuals, by guiding the teenagers properly, we can effectively eliminate the downside of this practice. To conclude, I firmly believe the news media is in the best interests of society as a whole.

总的来说,尽管新闻媒体有些不利的瑕疵,但是只要合理地对待,还是利远远大于弊的。结尾重申观点。
