3月30日大作文范文-知识存储在网络上是好是坏?
2017年3月30日
雅思大作文题目
In the past, knowledge was stored in books, but now it is stored in the Internet. Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
这两周的雅思写作有点邪门了,连续两次考几乎同样的话题,这种情况还是不常出现的。
上周要求大家论述:有了网络,是不是不再需要老师了?这周的题目稍微转换一下角度,问:把各种知识存储在网络上,这是好还是坏?
我们稍微比较一下,就能看出这两个题目的相似之处:有了网络,我们是不是就不需要老师/书籍?也就是,通过网络学习与通过老师/书籍学习,各自的利弊是什么?
当然,本周考题几乎更是2014年3月13日的原题翻版,大约3年前的那道题目是这样的:Printed books are not necessary in digital era because books can be stored electronically, while others believe that printed books will continue to play an important part in our lives. Give your own opinion based on your experience. 即,现在书籍都可以电子化了,那么印刷的书籍还有存在的必要吗?
其实,这样的题目是比较简单的,因为它非常贴近我们的日常话题。把知识存储在网络上自有其优势,包括:存放量大,携带、读取都方便,而且更利于知识的传播,但印刷的书籍也有优势,比如不依赖电子设备载体,印刷书的错误更少,更精致,还有读印刷书总给我们一种与作者更直接交流的温暖感觉,等等。
另外,昨天唐老师收到一个短信问disadvantages outweigh advantages这类题目,是不是一定要求考生明确自己的立场:要么优势大于劣势,要么劣势大于优势?对此,唐老师的回答是,原则上来说这是应该的,但考生也可通过两种不同的途径来明确立场:可以详细论述一方优势,对方优势一笔带过,然后阐明自己立场;也可以讨论双边优势,然后阐明自己立场。写作无定法,没有非要写什么,不写什么的限制,主要看是否切题,文字是否准确,逻辑是否通顺,还有,最重要的一点就是:哪种方式你写起来最顺手,而且凑够250字!

Today we all believe that knowledge is just at the tip of our fingers because all knowledge seems to be have been stored electronically and is easily accessible on the Internet. There have been mixed responses to this development, and personally I think more and more people will rely on the Internet for knowledge though the printed books will never completely disappear.
Storing knowledge in the Internet has obvious advantages. Owing to its virtually unlimited capacity, the Internet can store all knowledge in the world. This makes it quite unnecessary for us to spend that much money constructing the brick-and-mortar libraries. Then as long as we have Internet connection, we can find whatever we desire to know no matter where we are. So, rather than carrying heavy books on American culture with me, I can sit at a coffee table and with a few simple keyboard clicks, I can have immediate access to any book in the world on that topic. What is more, if I would like to share some important knowledge with my friend, again a few simple clicks would do, but were the knowledge stored in the book form, then I would probably have to find time to go to the post-office and send the book to him/her, which is far more time-consuming and less efficient.
Keeping knowledge in the Internet, however, will make us excessively dependent on electronic devices. Simply put, in case of power-off or computer break-down, we will be thrown into a terribly helpless situation. But this is not a problem for people who learn things from books. Additionally, many people simply prefer reading real books for knowledge to online sources, because they believe books are more reliable and they find themselves emotionally and intellectually more attached to knowledge in books.
My conclusion, then, is that knowledge will increasingly find its way to the Internet and it will make knowledge storage more economical and convenient, yet books will never vanish because there are always people who would like to embrace knowledge in printed form.

Today we all believe that knowledge is just at the tip of our fingers because all knowledge seems to be have been stored electronically and is easily accessible on the Internet. There have been mixed responses to this development, and personally I think more and more people will rely on the Internet for knowledge though the printed books will never completely disappear.
今天,我们都相信知识就在指尖,因为所有知识似乎都已经电子化储存,很容易在网上获取。对这一新发展,人们的反应不一,就个人而言,我觉得越来越多的人会依赖网络来学习知识,但印刷的书籍永远也不会完全消失。
解析
(1) 本段引出话题,提出自己下文拟论证的观点:知识上网有很多优势,但印刷书籍也不会消失。请学习唐老师是如何规避“有些人认为......,另外一些人认为.......”这个模板套路的。
(2) at the tip of fingers 近在咫尺;在指尖
(3) electronically 电子化地
(4) accessible 可以获取的
(5) mixed responses 各种不同的反应

Storing knowledge in the Internet has obvious advantages. Owing to its virtually unlimited capacity, the Internet can store all knowledge in the world. This makes it quite unnecessary for us to spend that much money constructing the brick-and-mortar libraries. Then as long as we have Internet connection, we can find whatever we desire to know no matter where we are. So, rather than carrying heavy books on American culture with me, I can sit at a coffee table and with a few simple keyboard clicks, I can have immediate access to any book in the world on that topic. What is more, if I would like to share some important knowledge with my friend, again a few simple clicks would do, but were the knowledge stored in the book form, then I would probably have to find time to go to the post-office and send the book to him/her, which is far more time-consuming and less efficient.
把知识储存在网上有明显的优势。网络的空间几乎是无限的,因此可以储存世界上所有知识,这就让我们没有太大必要去花那么多钱修建实体图书馆了。而且,只要我们能连上网,无论身在哪里,我们都能找到想学习的东西。因此,我不用带着厚厚的关于美国文化的书,坐在咖啡桌边,只需简单敲敲键盘,就可以马上看到世界上关于这个话题的任何一本书。不仅如此,如果我想与朋友分享什么重要的知识,简单敲敲键盘就又可以了,但是如果这知识以书的形式储存,那么我也许必须找时间去邮局把书寄给朋友,那花的时间就多多了,效率也低很多。
解析
(1)本段分析网络储存知识的好处:首先是节约钱;其次是容易找到;再其次是容易分享。请各位读者认真学习唐老师是不露痕迹地层层推进这三层意思。
(2)owing to 由于,因为
(3)virtually (=nearly; actually; almost) 几乎;实际上地
(4)capacity 容量;空间;能力
(5)brick-and-mortar 实体的(相对于虚拟的)
(6)time-consuming 耗时的
(7)efficient 有效率的

Keeping knowledge in the Internet, however, will make us excessively dependent on electronic devices. Simply put, in case of power-off or computer break-down, we will be thrown into a terribly helpless situation. But this is not a problem for people who learn things from books. Additionally, many people simply prefer reading real books for knowledge to online sources, because they believe books are more reliable and they find themselves emotionally and intellectually more attached to knowledge in books.
然而,把知识保存在网上会让我们过于依赖电子产品。简单地说,万一遇到停电或者电脑崩溃,我们就会陷入到一个特别无助的境况。但这对通过读书来学习的人来说就不是问题了。此外,很多人就是喜欢阅读真正的书籍来学知识,而不是网络资源,因为他们相信书籍更可靠,而且他们发现在书里,他们在情感上和智力上都与知识更紧密。
解析
(1)本段讲网络存储知识的坏处(让我们过于依赖电子产品)以及书籍的好处。但唐老师此处采用略写的方式,因为主要观点是将网络存储的优势。
(2)excessively 过分地
(3)be dependent on... 依赖于......
(4)prefer ...to... 更喜欢......不喜欢......
(5)attached 紧密的;依恋的
04
My conclusion, then, is that knowledge will increasingly find its way to the Internet and it will make knowledge storage more economical and convenient, yet books will never vanish because there are always people who would like to embrace knowledge in printed form.
因此,我的结论是知识会越来越多走上网络,这会让知识存储变得更加经济和便捷,但是书籍永远也不会消失,因为总会有人喜欢拥抱以印刷形式出现的知识。
解析
(1)本段对前文观点进行总结。这里需要高度提炼(但不见得一定总结到前文中的每个点,照顾到最重要的即可)。
(2)find its way to... 走进......
(3)economical 节约的
(4)vanish 消失
(5)embrace 拥抱
