雅思作文：写信是否会被科技取代

3月24日的雅思大作文考了这样一道题目：With the increase in the use of mobile phones and computers, fewer people are writing letters. Some people think that the traditional skill of writing letters will disappear completely. To what extent do you agree or disagree? How important do you think is letter-writing? （人们使用手机电脑日益增多，很少有人写信，有人认为传统的书信会被手机取代，是否认同？）下面就来看看这道题目的解析吧！

【科技类相似题目】

有些题目的问法虽然不一样，但实际上可以使用相同的思考角度来回答。因此，“话题迁移”一直是雅思写作和口语经常使用的一个技巧，即用同样的观点和表达来应对不同的题目。3月24号考的这道大作文，其实和下列题目的写法在很大程度上是相近的：

1. There are social, medical, and technical problems associated with the use of mobile phones. What forms do they take? Do you agree that the problems outweigh the benefits of mobile phone? 手机的使用带来了社会，医疗和技术问题有哪些?是否认为手机弊大于利？

2. Mobile phone and the Internet are very useful for old people; however, this section of population is the fewer users of mobile phone and the Internet, in what ways can mobile and the Internet is useful to the old? How can old people be encouraged to use this new technology? 手机和网络对于老人有用，但是，老人们很少使用，手机和网络对于老人用处何在?如何鼓励老人使用手机和网络？

3. Some people think people have benefited from modern communication technology, while others think some people have not benefit at all, to what extent do you agree or disagree? 有人认为人们可以从现代交流技术中获益，有认为认为人们无法获益，你在多大程度上认同这个观点？

【思路解析】

1. 写信会被科技取代

a. Using cell phones to communicate has many advantages, and none of these is as obvious as time-saving: receive and reply instantly, be entirely independent of mailing services provided by the post office…

b. Another fatal drawback of writing letters is that people are unable to transfer images, audio and videos.

2. 写信不会被科技取代

a. There are a few people among the older generation who still prefer words on paper rather than on the screen.

b. Hand-written letters have always been saved and treasured as family keepsakes and histories.
