英语四级作文（一）

Are people becoming addicted to technology

        Numerous studies claim that addiction to technology is real and it has the same effect on the brain as drug addiction. First, no one can deny the fact that technology is of great importance to our daily life. However, as a matter of fact, its adverse effect should not be ignored by the public.

        Confronted with such phenomenon, we should take a series of effective measures to cope with the situation. For one thing, it is obvious that the universities and mass media should increase publicity and education to encourage people to apply technology more appropriately. For another, we should bear in mind that we are supposed to take a reasonable attitude toward modern technology, and make its advantages over-weight disadvantages.

        Personally, I believe that only by doing so can we better ourselves in every aspect of our life. Consequently, I’m confident that a bright future is awaiting us because technology makes our life rich and colorful.

翻译

        许多研究声称，对技术的成瘾是真实的，它对大脑的影响与药物成瘾相同。首先，没有人可以否认技术对我们日常生活非常重要的事实。但是，其实它的不利影响不应被公众忽视。

        面对这种现象，我们应该采取一系列有效措施应对。一方面，大学和大众媒体显然应该加强宣传和教育，以鼓励人们更恰当地应用技术。另一方面，我们谨记应该对现代技术采取合理的态度，同时放大其优点克服其缺点。

        就我个人而言，我相信只有这样做，我们才能在生活的各个方面超过我们自己。因此，我相信美好的未来正在等待着我们，因为技术使我们的生活丰富多彩。
