【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?
过渡词很丰富，衔接词同时使用的恰到好处；熟练使用了一些长难句；文章用词灵活多样，学术词汇使用也比较准确。
A commonly held belief is that technology developments increasing the complexity of our life, hence eliminate of using technology could result in our live much simple, while others held contradictory ideas towards it. Admittedly, technology has made our lives complicated to some extent. For one thing, some people tend to take advantage of technology to commit crime for their own interests. Specifically, they are steal personal information on the internet and sell it in order to get a profit. Another reason lies in the fact that people are losing their ability of face to face communication and becoming alienated from each other due to the fact that they spend too much time on the virtual world. By contrast, more convening arguments can be made to justify the advantages technology progress has contributed to our lives. To begin with, thanks to the newly technology which change our live in a efficient and effective manner. For instance, people used to write letters as a way of communication, which takes for months to get somewhere far, in contrast, we can now relate to each through e-mail, face-book and telephone. Furthermore, the development of technology could make medical breakthrough to cure diseases as a result people could live longer and healthier than they used to be. To sum up, in spite of the fact that, technological innovations have made our lives more complex than ever before, I am still convinced that their influence are of great significant and we can not afford to leave them behind.
