【题目翻译】
一些人认为科技的发展使得我们的生活更加复杂，因此解决方法在于过一种没有科技的简单生活。你在多大程度上同意或不同意?
【话题分类与题型】
本题是新题，但与2009年2月12日的话题非常类似(详见“类似话题”第一道)。属于科技类话题，题型为同意与否(单观点)。科技类话题是雅思写作中的常考话题，但已很久未出现，上次考科技类话题是在2011年10月29日。
【话题评价】
雅思写作中，科技类的题库共有以下一些分支：1、通讯科技(如远程上班、教育)，2、现代传媒(电视、网络、手机、电子游戏)，3、机器替代人类。而今天的话题属于科技类相对最难的第4个分支，抽象类。抽象类的科技话题请参见“类似话题”的2-4题。
【类似话题】
1. Developments of technology are causing environmental problems. Some people think the solution is for everyone to accept a simpler life, while others believe that technology can solve these problems. Discuss both views and give your opinion. (090212)
2. Technological progress in the past century has its negative effect, despite its remarkable contribution. To what extent do you agree or disagree?(100227)
3. Some people believe that the range of technology available to individuals today is increasing the gap between the poor people and the rich people, while some others say this has an opposite effect. Discuss both views and give your opinion. (090110)
4. The development of technology changes the way people connect with each other. In which way does the development of technology change the types of relationships among people? Does it have positive or negative effects on the relationships?(090808)
【结构与思路】
本题的话题非常典型，错误的观点+理由(这道题目是理由在先，错误的观点在后)。这类题型的写法是一样的，采用单边型，先驳斥题目中的原因(科技会让生活变得更加复杂)，然后再讲执行错误观点(离开科技)会引发的后果。这类题型在雅思写作中有很多，写法都一致，建议大家做好准备。下面给大家举两道思考题，大家可以自己构思一下。
1. It is not necessary for students to go to school because more information is available on the Internet. Do you agree or disagree? (031122, 040131)
2. Some people believe that university students should pay all the cost of studies because university education only benefit the students themselves not the society as a whole. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
拼写做的很棒，学术词汇可适量增加；作者在句法层面做的很棒；恰当的使用了过渡词和衔接词，衔接手法做的很棒。
Technology is making our lives more and more convenient, but some people argue in the opposite way that technology is making their lives more complex. The differentiation in people's opinions over the same thing may lie with one's knowledge. Those who are young, educated are more likely to hold the first view, whereas the old, less educated are suppose to take the second point. Undoubtly, the goal of technology is to improve people's livelihood. As is proved by things in our daily life, trains are becoming faster; mobile phones are more intellectualized; cars are more energy saving; products are more available to customers than ever before. These advances in technology also need the ordinary people to update their knowledge to comply with it, otherwise, one will be lagging behind and can't handle the new technology. However, for the old and less educated or someone who refuses to enjoy modern technology, this world is becoming more and more sophisticated than before. The old are losing their ability to learn new things, and the isolation from the today's world due to the inconvenience of moving around also misses the opportunities. For those less educated, who is usually come from poor and rural areas, they lack the basic knowledge to handle the changes brought by new technology. And last for those who resist new technology, they have their own belief or habit, it's totally another thing. To sum up, technology is growing rapidly, so education and knowledge should also be updated and offered to those old and less educated to help them enjoy a more convenient life.
